Nintendo in panic mode, film at 11

The whole reason for Xbox has little to do with game console or set-top boxes of any kind.

Xbox is a stalking horse for Palladium. If MSFT can develop the technical and legal mechanisms to keep the PC-archetecture Xbox locked down, they will apply it directly to the next Windows hardware reference platform . You know, the "trusted" one.

So MSFT will simply throw money at this project until it accomplishes what they want: millions of free manhours of attempted penetration testing by devoted hardware hackers.
