In this review we present a short introduction to the X-ray Telescope on Hinode. We discuss its capabilities and new features and compare it with Yohkoh SXT. We also discuss some of the first results that include observations of X-ray jets in coronal holes, shear change in flares, sigmoid eruptions and evolution, application of filter ratios and differential emission measure analysis, structure of active regions, fine structure of X-ray bright points, and modeling non-potential fields around filaments. Finally, we describe how XRT works with other ground and space-based instrumentation, in particular with TRACE, EIS, SOT, and SOLIS.
