Xbox 2 SDK Released On Mac G5?

Espectr0 writes "The Inquirer reports rumors, courtesy anonymous sources, that Microsoft has released the Xbox 2 SDK to select videogame developers, and they are using 'dual Apple Power Mac G5 systems running a custom Windows NT Kernel.' This ties up with earlier rumors which mention that the XBox 2 will be powered by the IBM chip, and ATI will be providing the video chip." The report also notes: "Interestingly, the SDK apparently also features an Apple logo on a side bar within the application."

How would you acquire the licenses for OSX to be on boxes in "every room" of your house? That sounds like an expensive solution to me.

Mac OS X Family Pack. Is $199 really all that expensive?

It's only $200 for a 5-license Panther disc from the Apple Store (under Apple Software, for some reason if you just click the Panther box they don't show it..).

G5s

Now we know where those G5s were bound for.
