As we reported earlier, IBM processors are indeed the Xbox 2 development platform of choice.
The big news to us is that the XBOX 2 SDK has been seeded to developers on dual Apple Power Mac G5 systems running a custom Windows NT Kernel.
...
Interestingly the SDK apparently also features an Apple logo on a side bar within the application.

To me, the reason why I bought the box in the first place was for this feature.
MS states that due to the lack of developer use of the hardware, they had to trim some areas for cost savings.
Well, certain developers are actually using the featue in X-box live D/L and others are just starting to use the Drive for buffering and future gaming prospects. Hopefully MS will see this.
IMO, I like the feature and it will be a driving factor on who will get my money in the console race.

Microsoft 'takes hard drive out' of Xbox 2
It appears that you may be right. Not being a console sort of guy this does not affect me.
No more Linux X-Box hackers I guess
