Hey everyone, I hope this isn't too off-topic. I'm very keen to develop software for the Xbox 360, and ideally I'd want to do it in C#. At the moment neither of those things are possible though. From what I've read, Microsoft is planning to open up development of the console, but I'm not sure by how much. I haven't read anything about them porting .NET to the Xbox 360 at all. So my plan is to find out how many people share my interest, and to try and get a petition going to get some support for the idea. Here is my text for the petition at the moment... if people could tell me what they think, what I should change, etc, I'd be really greatful. Once I've got enough feedback, I'll stick it up on PetitionOnline.com and try and get a good number of signatures. Once again, sorry if it's off topic... this seemed like the best place to find interested people. ---------------- Xbox 360 Development with the .NET Framework Petition "At this time, access to development tools for the Xbox 360 video game console is limited to developers working on approved titles for licensed publishers. This will change over time..." [1] This petition is to encourage Microsoft to use the Xbox 360 console to promote .NET development, and in turn encourage developers (both professionals and hobbyists) to create games and applications that would run on the Xbox 360 under the .NET CLR. This would allow any developer to exploit the power of the Xbox 360 and its convenient location in the living room without being hindered by requirements such as backing from a publisher or distribution costs. Using the .NET framework gives a secure and isolated sandbox for applications to run in, which can be used to safeguard the Xbox 360 and the owner's data against malicious or buggy code. An example of how this could be achieved is as follows: The Xbox 360 Dashboard could have an "Xbox 360 Addons" area. This area could integrate with a site such as GotDotNet.com to allow Xbox 360 users to browse, download, rate and potentially buy .NET applications that have been written specifically for the Xbox 360. The user could run these applications in the knowledge that the .NET sandbox provided by the Xbox 360 would protect their console from malicious code, and return them safely to the Dashboard should the application crash. Should an application hang (e.g. in an infinite loop) a special button (for example the Start button) could bring up a menu to terminate the application and return to the Dashboard. For extra securit
