> The original Xbox shipped with an OS, and games ran under that OS. Not really, maybe by a stretch. Games run under a heavily stripped down Windows 2000 kernel, which most people would not really consider an OS on its own. It's a... kernel. The SDK that got compiled into the game contained a full tcp/ip stack as it was not included in the kernel, as well as directx, sound libraries etc. The kernel was really just barely what you needed to get things going. It was crammed into 256kb, including the entire bootup animation/sound. Everything else came from the game. |
