Just a thought... > Possibly, the development scene for getting things running under 360 isn't nearly as lively as the XBMC one though due to it being so pointlessly locked down to MS technologies (it won't even let you connect to SAMBA shares). You could probably write some kind of service under windows for the 360 to connect to on the network but you'd never get a standalone client running like XBMC unless it was an MS / BBC co-op (which, let's face it isn't out of the question given projects both have worked on in recent past).
Also, the 360 is a lot louder than the old XBox :P Iain - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html. Unofficial list archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
