from what i've read these new specs are pretty good for a console, especially one that's out near the end of this year!

Opinions?

what interests me is the mumblings of powerpc chips.

in that the xbox ran a custom hacked version of windows 2000, a safe assumption could be that xbox2 will do similar, perhaps using the underlying bits of say, longhorn.

pointing towards there potentially being versions of windows, that at a core level can handle powerpc cpus. which could seriously fucking rock.

Yeah, all the noise coming out of MS at the moment suggests otherwise, but if you read between the lines of all their new technology and software, there's something seriously up in Redmond.
