I think the main appeal of Linux-on-XBox for anti-M$ people is the fact
that M$ sells each XBox at a loss. (maybe around a hundred dollars each?)
they expect to recoup that from the royalties/licensing fees they get from
each game sold for the console. So if you run Linux on your XBox, you're
denying M$ that royalty/license fee :)
