The Scoop on the Xbox 360's Embedded OS?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-could-it-be-man dept.

An anonymous reader writes "When the Xbox 360 was launched two weeks ago amid much brouhaha over its custom-designed IBM PowerPC-based CPU with 3 symmetrical cores running at 3.2GHz each, WindowsForDevices.com wondered aloud, 'What OS runs inside the Xbox 360?' Now, the website thinks it has found the answer to its question. No, it's not Linux or BSD, nor a derivative of Longhorn or Windows CE."

      Let's see... Hyperbole, check. Extreme generalizations, check. Bald-faced lies, check. Strawman and matches, check. Non sequitur insults, check. 2+ uses of a 'curse word', check. Belief in inherent self-superiority uber alles for being an emo chestbeater, check.

      Stricken nerve, check.

      Too easy. Catch ya next time, sucker.

    My guess is faeries. They captured a whole mess of them and have chained them to tiny little switchboards in the machine. I was going to say leprachauns, but the extra gold they carry around would make the machines too heavy.
