OK, so today my friend sort of challenged me if i can install Windows XP on AppleTV. He said he's 200% sure it can't be done. Considering...

1. NO VT-x Support. (Parallel and VirtualBox won't run.. in terms of, on the documents provided, it *can't* run.. right.. -.- )

Update:
Windows XP running on AppleTV.
