The population of HMXBs in the MCs and the Galaxy is investigated. The SMC has an over-abundant population of HMXBs. This provides the clues that the SMC should be more active in massive star formation. The pulse periods in the SMC are slightly shorter than those in the Galaxy, implying that most of the pulsars in Be/X-ray binaries are not spin-up.
