With the release of the Xbox 360, Microsoft added faster and better technology to its flagship video game console. However, one thing that has remained the same since the original Xbox was released is the ability to connect to the Internet and play games with your friends online.
This is convenient and fun, but it can also be a highly technical process to figure out how to set up and connect your machine to the Internet. Locating your Xbox 360's MAC (Media Access Control) number for troubleshooting purposes isn't as complicated as it might seem, however. All it takes is a moment of your time and a little searching. Select 'Edit Settings' from the list of options on the menu. It is the option in the middle of the screen, located directly under the 'Test Media Connection' option. Wait for the 'Edit Settings' menu to come up.
Select the 'Basic Settings' tab and confirm that 'IP Settings,' located near the top of the page, is listed as 'Automatic.' Click the 'Additional Settings' tab at the top of the window and select the 'Advanced Settings' box located at the bottom of the screen.
Wait for the 'Advanced Settings' window to pop up. Locate the rectangular box in the bottom left corner of the 'Advanced Settings' screen. In this box you will find a 12-digit alphanumeric series. This is the MAC address of your Xbox 360.

The XBox One Controller needs to remain connected with an USB cable. The advantage would be that your rechargeable battery pack remains charged (obviously not you regular AA batteries!).
So with the port of os X to windoze systems, one has to ask where to next? A search of the net will reveal a faked youtube vid of someone claiming to boot X on an XBox but nothing else. Seems to me it CAN be done.
The requirements are a working bootloader for the XBox, and a rewriting darwin and the kernal so it can use the triple core PPC XENIUM chip. Rumor has it a bootloader for 360 has been worked out for linux. Step one half done. Second part was a rewritten Darwin, well maybe some of that can be found in the old OpenDarwin project? I really lack the programming skills to do it myself but I am sure there are some really clever macmaniacs out there who think os X on a microsoft machine is definitely worth the effort. (The triple core PPC running native code gets me drooling.) I just don't understand why this is a project with no legs.
I think it quit a shame that they don't make a version of vista that installs on 360. Now that would Kick Ass.
Vista would probably run HEAPS better than PC version. What makes you think a PPC port of Vista (which is written in native x86 or AMD64 code depending on version) would run better than the PC version (which runs on native x86/AMD64 processors)? For one, there is nothing wrong with the performance of Vista when it's run on hardware that makes the most of it, that argument has been a pretty null point since SP1. A version ported to the 360 would probably end up being run through an emulation layer, and would likely end up being slow as hell (with no support for graphics acceleration/etc) - And MS is sure as hell NOT going to write a whole new Vista kernel for the 360's CPU.
