I just read this in a German computer magazine: the built-in USB ports of the Xbox are apparently INCOMPATIBLE with the standard USB ports, so probably only M$ equipment will work with them.
That's M$ alive: always invent a new "standard" and everybody who want's to keep to the *actual* ( = "old") standards has to haul down his flag, standing before M$'s iron gates (pun
), unable to get inside the fortress and thus unable to sweep "King" Gates off his throne once and for all.
