The ArcToolbox tool downloads the data as XML and then converts it into point, line and polygon feature classes within a geodatabase. It also performs an additional step by providing some elementary symbology for the downloaded elements. Doing the conversion from XML and coming up with appropriate colors, linetypes, etc is what's most foreign to the average ArcGIS user.

What does ArcToolbox function do beyond the data export tab on the openstreetmap.org<http://openstreetmap.org/> homepage?
