Ultimately, it may be possible to run Linux (for example) without modding the box. An anonymous donor has offered $US 200,000 towards the development of such a "fix" so presumably if it is technically possible it will be eventually done. Therefore, I guess one could eventually make a CD image that boots the OS _and_ the application without requiring mods or installs. But its really not an "unfinished" OS. Its just unix with X11 and ALSA. A single API targets both environments, so the extra work required to make an app run on the xbox may not be great. Personally, I doubt that I would pursue this route. However, it does give an interesting "mass market" for linux audio applications.
