I'm sure that you'd be breaking hundreds of license agreements and the like to do it, but someone has figured out how to install Mac OSX onto an Xbox and been kind enough to post instructions. It's no small feat, though, involving a mod-chipped Xbox, image files of OSX, installation of the Pear PC emulator, and a couple of dozen hours to go through the entire install process. When you're done, though, you'll have one of the slowest, least-useful OSX boxes money can buy!

I guess it'll be much easier to do this on Xbox2 as that runs on G5 processors!

But still much slower, due to the fact it's being emulated, at least that's what i thought i read.
