I know this has most likly been asked about 18 thousand times.. but.. what OS will the XBox be running?
I know the API is a subset of DirectX.. but what about the BIOS/OS needed to get the games to run in the first place?
is this going to be a subset of Windows? (Like Windows CE) or something?

Hey Pogo,
Xbox is based upon a VERY scaled down Windows2000 kernel. Also available in Original recipe and Extra Crispy.
Can I get that in Spicy B-B-Q? Or are Crispy & Original the only flavors.

That's what thought...
I was wondering about that. =) Either W2k.. or WinCE. =)
thanks for the Heads up!

Where did you hear it runs on a Win2k kernal? I've heard that it's a Win2k and I've heard it's a WinNT. Is Win2k official?

Beware the drunk, belligerent, monkeys with sharp teeth... they're watching.
It's been Win2k for quite a long time. Ever since the Xbox started. The kernel is extremely stripped and only includes things necessary for the Xbox to function.
ah I remember when I was 34 months old it was a grand time, but that was a time far, far ago when ataris roamed the land.
