The idea is great because it didn’t come from Microslop. It’s going to be a Steam Machine competitor.
Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead

I actually think it’s a great idea. The problem is that Microslop is behind it.

Nah, it’s been pretty clear for some time now that the next Xbox would just be a PC.

Yeah it can be , and Steam already did it and better. But it’s still not a console experience. It’s closer but it’s not equivalent. And for what Xbox has represented this isn’t it …

I think it’s “console enough” that it could still work. Current consoles are really just locked-down PCs anyways.
It’d be no different than the OtherOS functionality on first-run PS3 consoles that allowed them to boot into Linux. Perhaps simpler than that even, given that current consoles already use standard PC hardware and not the Cell architecture the PS3 ran on.
