What about PuppyLinux or DamnSmallLinux?

Both are tiny, and boot in less than a minute.
Haven't you got it yet? The new Xbox isn't about GAMES anymore, it's about selling people's eyes to advertisers. These consoles are being used more for displaying media, rather than games. The mandatory Kinect and internet connection are a means to tell advertisers how many butts are in seats, watching their ads.

How about media that won't display unless your butt is in the seat, watching the ad?
The new Xbox will be one way to achieve that, EASILY.
The Wal-Mart Shopper mentality.
1. Thinking that the cost of something is the cost at the cash register.
Welcome to the mentality of most management. They think ONLY of the current quarter, the bonuses they will get and how to pump up the price of their stock options by keeping things running as cheaply as possible. They don't CARE about the future because they don't plan to be around that long. They'll either move on to a bigger company, or take their "golden parachute" and retire to the islands. You can cite maintainability and support to them all day long, and it's just like teaching a pig to sing. They _will_not_care_ and get mad at you for wasting their precious golf time talking about it.
