Keyboards aren't even supported. It's the ce .net windows xp os. You can run it as the main program for your box or install it as an application.

you can use keyboards,simply by cutting an xbox controller lead in half and a keyboard lead in half,join the right cables together and then format ur xbox the same way you would for an mp3 player.duh

and when it says linux its not an actual operating system its just an installer you would have to have a chip to have an actual operating system like that on it.plus the xbox hdd is way to small 2 turn into a p.c

I'm not saying you can't physically plug a keyboard into a xbox, but the windows ce .net 4.20 os doesn't yet support a keyboard. And you can fit it the os on your xbox it's only about 30mb. It's not actual windows xp but its windows on a xbox, you can install it as an app. And your xbox does't have to be chipped.

If your asking if you can put the entire windows 98 OS on your xbox and then expect it to run like a PC, then the answer is no.

O thank you. Thats what I saw. Is there any way to install a Wireless G hookup to my xbox instead of buying the $100 adapter from Microsoft?

I think you can find cheaper wireless gaming adapters than the one microsoft sells. You may be able to use a usb adapter, not sure though.

Is it designed for use on the xbox. Is the OS files in xbox format.
