None of the, erm, above. It *is* stripped down Windows2000 - a kernel
coming in at about 500k according to Bill G.
However, the memory architecture is different to standard PCs, and it
technically boots headless, so it's kinda up in the air as to whether it
is actually 2000/NT or just various bits stuck together: I mean, the ip
stack is nicked from bsd I seem to remember (or maybe that's been
changed) and the graphics procedures are both DirectX at one end and
custom to Nvidia at the other, so it's not as if you'll be booting it to
a desktop anytime soon.
Sticking linux on it, though, and making a sodding great
beowulf...ooohhhhhhhhhh
Oh, and the Dreamcast was running on CE. Which explains a lot.

For 10 points ...
Is the Xbox OS:
a) Windows NT Embedded
b) Windows 2000 Embedded
c) Mac OS X (joke)
?
Thought it was Windows 2000 but I've been informed it is NT. Any ideas
anyone? TIA, G
