An Xbox isn't a windows machine. Its a console, by microsoft.

Well... Technically it IS a windows machine, just specialized.
In OP's defense, the PS3 (and 4, I think?) were hacked to run Linux, allowing them to play games not ordinarily available on that platform. I don't think there's anything like that on the Xbox One right now, though, and even if there was, it'd be wildly impractical for all but the most hardcore of users. As in, the ones who would already be aware of the existence of something like that.

The PS3 wasn't hacked to run Linux - it came out of the box able to run Linux in using the "Other OS" function that was included by Sony. The Other OS feature and ability to run Linux was later removed because it is what GeoHot used to hack the PS3 and jailbreak the system. The final agreement was that you could keep the Other OS function but couldn't update the system any longer and it stopped running newer games and couldn't get patches for older games and lost online PSN functionality.

As for the XBox being a Windows machine. The name XBox is a reference to Direct X as in this console is a Direct X Box. It was designed to push Direct X and Windows integration into the living room.
To be fair there isn't a week I don't come across the news about someone making DOOM run on their microwave oven or something like that, so why not?

True. One day they will probably be able to install Windows XP(someone did it on the 360 through CFW) or 7 on it. However it will take quite some time, since Xbox One is still brand new. It takes quite a while for console enthusiasts to find security loopholes that let you customize the system and do whatever you want on it.

However I´d tell OP it would be better if he just get a PC. Because it will probably take around 5-10 years for those "Hardware Enthusiast" to start to really developing sophisticated stuff that could let you do whatever you want inside a proprietary console.

I'll let this video speak for itself.
Well, actually:

With the Witcher games already on console as well and most likely also Cyberpunk, one could imagine it.

Indeed the PS4 was hacked to run Linux.

It's already running a tweaked 10. XP or 7 would probably shit the bed as far as managing/cooperating with the hardware.

I don't imagine 8GB unified memory would work all that phenomenally with something as archaic as XP. And aren't current consoles running offshoots of AMD Polaris? Doubt that'd work well at all.
