Did anyone else notice that the Xenon XDK is running a .EXE file?
Unless I am mistaken, that means that MS has switched over from the .XBE of the xbox.
If I am right it probally has something to do with the new XNA development kit

OH and on first glance, I saw that it was Dolphin.EXE running on it (as in the Gamecube emulator) but when you look again you see that it is actually just an XDK sample.

Dolphin is the oldest benchmark sample from MS, from the early directx, to what we now think is the Xenon...

thinking about it , i could be wrong.

ALL executables have certain sections thats tells them what to do.

So extensions mean nothing..

My 2cents worth

and 120gigs.

Well u wouldnt want to PRESS a dvd everytime u made a change , so 120gig harddrive will give u a nice bit of room for testing different versions..

if the xbox2 comes with a hdd , we are still too see.. i think not. more like a nice bit of solid state memory (128/256) would do..

My Thoughts. Flame Me if u want

That pic is most likely a Photoshopped fake and probably just edited, messed with the original XDK dashboard. I'm sure we'll find out it's fake in less than a month.

i'm with stripey, change the extension on an xbe to exe - it still runs - little much ado about a meaningless extension no ?

The Extension doesnt mean jack, like with all files the Extension is just there so the Operating System knows which Program (in the pc world) is to open that file.

So in other words you can save a JPG file as ABC or whatever then Manually open it with a PhotoShop or whatever and it should still open unless of course you got a ghetto program which reads Extensions instead of file headers.

Flame me if yall want

Extension's dont mean anything, it's just a way of the OS you're using the determine the type, and to show you, as bluecell said.

Personally, i'm not sure if it's fake or not. I don't see why MS would need to change the XDK Launcher, the latest one works really well.

if this pic is a fake,then i think it's a pretty good fake.Nevertheless,the current XDK is top notch and i hope that MS will do the same for the 'next' Generation..

only pics from one i have ever seen from ms were when it was a big chrome X pc case for the dev kit itself

ah ok, well, it's not much different right now, but remember this isn't the or even close to the final version of the xdk2, this is a VERY early screen
