Bill Gates hinted today that Microsoft may be considering the licensing of the software underlying the Xbox to outside companies in an attempt to increase the Xbox's market share. There is a possibility that they will offer the "basic software" for Xbox similar to the way they allowed other companies to install Windows operating systems on their computers.
"Gates hasn't offered specifics about the kind of software or which companies would be involved. He also hasn't said whether the arrangement will involve manufacturers making products other than game machines, such as digital consumer electronics gadgets that combine PC functions with home appliances." souce: Associated Press
