I don't know for sure but don't these Xbox dev kits use a special version of Windows NT?mkrishnan said:Well, the XBox kit doesn't run on Windows, does it? Isn't that the point?

The XBox runs on a PowerPC. Because of this, the developer kits needed to, also. Because it was the most expedient way to achieve this, IBM uses Powermac G5s as XBox development kits for MS. That's why its funny.
See this, for instance: http://www.hardmac.com/niouzcontenu.php?date=2005-04-20#3929
Edit: if I need to go even one step further, the XBox is MS' fairly successful gaming console. The XBox 2 is actively under development atm, and all this applies to it. They both, AFAIK, use PowerPC-derived cores, provided by IBM.
