MacNN | Apple TV hack boots full Mac OS X:

It’s now possible to boot a full version of Mac OS X, a dedicated hobbyist group revealed Saturday evening. A collaborative effort has installed and run the software on the device by sidestepping its processor restrictions in the operating system’s kernel, which previously barred all but the custom version of the software from loading properly. The technique results in complete functionality for the USB port — as accomplished in a separate hack — and will run standard applications, including the standard version of Apple’s Front Row media software.
