Lets see, I can buy a matrix modchip (which is solderless) for say $50.00. this enables me "after i program the bios in it" to run linux, any app i so choose, a new dashboard etc..
i personally have 2 xbox consoles running modchips. ill probbably buy another one eventually to test the new chameleon solderless chip. so why then would ms release a loader if i can do this allready? it took me 2 minutes to program the bios
15 seconds to boot the evox cd and get a ftp on my network up on with my xbox. and say 5 minutes to ftp about 4 gigs of music/apps.
why?
its easier ill bet to do it my way.
i think its a M$ ploy to get people to buy more systems. but thats just my humble opinion.
