Bear in mind, you will need the MS SDK which is errr only available as a
dodgy copy.

Also bear in mind that the xbox is not the same as a PC if you are running
the xbox kernel, it doesn't multitask, so you can't run say xplhal and any
other program at the same time. Which is why hijacking the source for xbmp
would be the best solution as that is what most non-game xbox's wil be
running 99% of the time. (Especially when they add the tivo playback)

Of course to turn it into a real PC, running Linux would be the way
forward,
not sure how far they are with it yet as it doesn't interest me.

Better hiring a game or two then rather than buying them ;) Halo seems to
get good reviews.
