I just realized something. Xbox is just a front for improving Pallium.

Since the Xbox is online and attracts hackers (obviously), and that a version of Win2k runs on it...

..that means that they can 'fix' the hacks on the Xbox, while at the same time fix the hacks on Pallium and trusted computing, since the chips are similar. The Xbox they can change anytime without worring about petty things such as 'compatability', and thusly it's a safe system to 'fix'.

In other words, every time you hack an Xbox, you are actually helping 'Trusted Computing' when it finally gets released be less modification proof.

Ingenius, no?

(Please take note that I am not refering to Microsoft as M$ right now. In fact, I think that this was a brilliant move by Microsoft. I don't agree with Pallium or 'Trusted computing' but that's another post entirely)
