Hi. I like to read forum posts here, and I read this one which contained a link to this document.
Obviously I cannot vouch for its authenticity, I don't assume this document to be credible at all. If it is a trolling attempt, it is a rather extensive and professional one. Nonetheless, even if this were real, it seems to be from 2010 at the earliest, and every day it is only getting older. Specifications might have changed.

Still though, I found it interesting to read.

So. Care to comment on this document?

Also I found this unrelated video (Inception - Dramatic Animals) hilarious.

Update: That original link to the file has been removed by a law firm, who apparently represents Microsoft, found out about this here.

If you still want to read it, you can see it here.

This intervention by a law firm makes it seem more credible. I read other people commenting that the last pages states it is a student's assignment - it doesn't say that. My main issue is the way the successor to the 360 is consistently referred to as the 720 rather than durango.

That is interesting. Seems like its kind of an unprofessional presentation though. If it is real, I kind of wonder about the guy who made it.

Nice find there.
I read through the presentation and I still could not be able to judge whether this is genuine or not. Bottom line is, I find it very interesting even this is a fake.
Technology change rapidly this days and we should just wait and see.

I'm not going to take anything seriously that refers to the ext console as 720

If it is Microsofts lawyers that keep shutting this down then you probably don't want to be spreading it around.
