> How the hell has this the Xbox 360 hypervisor remained basically impenetrable?

Conspiracy theorist in me thinks that since it was a games console, the NSA didn't mandate backdoors, so MS software and hardware security guys could just make the toughest hardware and software they could dream of. Sprinkled with a decent serving of luck.

So the Xbox360 was essentially a playground for MS hypervisor team, without needing to worry about national security or interference.

A perfect breeding ground for developing an actually secure product they could potentially use in the future, if they were allowed.

Oh, the library was for 10 years out of fashion, People You May Know? Well craaap.
