Microsoft Xbox 2 Software Development Kit is ... Based on Apple Technology?

Xbit Labs: "Microsoft Corporation has just released its Software Development Kit for the Xbox 2 console, a report over The Inquirer suggests. Apparently, Microsoft supplies Apple POWER Mac G5 systems running 'a custom Windows NT Kernel' operating system – something one may hard to believe without becoming familiar with preliminary Xbox 2 specifications. The current version of the Microsoft Xbox 2 SDK is an Apple POWER Macintosh G5 computer based on two IBM POWER PC 64-bit microprocessors. Just like the latest Macs, the Xbox 2 SDK is equipped with ATI RADEON 9800 PRO graphics card. Microsoft decided not to wait for ATI Technologies to supply the next-generation R420 VPUs that resemble Xbox 2 graphics fairly more than the R350 chips."
