Actually you could do it strait up without Linux... how ever you would have to break into Micro$oft and steel the code.. then rewrite it for the xbox (who's hardware wasn't designed to support xp BTW, but since you are rewriting the code, I'm sure you can figure out a way around that)... ok.. after your prision sentence.. you may go retrieve your stolen code from your secret hiding place and start working on your project.. however.. by then.. windows xp on the xbox.. and even windows xp and the xbox itself will more then likely be rather a thing of the past...
