I don't think you're going to see "homebrew" programs like emulators run on the 360 for a very long time.

From what I hear the protection on it is ground breaking?

It seems to me that the 360 simply acts as a media extender for Media center... With that in mind, I think it does something like a remote desktop or terminal service to the Media Center, so that you see the output on the xbox. I'm just speculating here, but if thats true, than all of your stuff should run on the Media Center and be displayed on the xbox, including emulators and GameEx.

I'm sure its not that simple, because I don't think GameEx likes being run on the fake video card driver that remote desktop uses. But for that matter Windows Media Center doesn't either. If the 360 just acts as an extender, I believe we'll probably see a lot more things move to the 360 faster than you might think.

Yes, media center extenders are using some sort of beefed up verson of remote desktop with extensions to handle streaming video and audio. Gaming is not something that you'd want to do through remote desktop.
