"as the hacker community targets the Xbox as a possible cheap computer on which to run Linux or play tricked-out versions of online games. "

Does it work just like a computer? I know it has a keyboard, but can you install linux, windows, ect on it like a PC and get apps for it, ect, or does it not have the processing power.

I know nothing about todays console, i still own a super nintendo and sega genesis

It is interesting. I could see MS wanting to sell a version of Windows on it with a wireless keyboard and mouse to give you a set top box type of PC. Although people are changing the rules and working out ways to run Linux on it instead.
