I'm surprised Microsoft didn't make an Xbox-like version of Windows to flash on for these handhelds yet.
The Xbox literally runs a custom build of Windows, that runs in a Virtual Machine, on top of another custom Windows based hypervisor. Then games are run in a separate VM.
All they'd have to do is port the hypervisor to different hardware, then the rest would run on top just fine.
Do you have a source for this? Every time I've gone looking for details about the Xbox I've not found anything comprehensive.

Just search for Xbox hypervisor
