I think some people are looking at that Drunkn_Munky, the problem is nobody knows how it's going to work just yet. To my understanding you'll only be allowed to use stuff you compile yourself. Which means while you could make homebrew and distribute the source, other people could only use it if they knew how to compile it and then paid MS for the ability to compile stuff to their xbox's. Which is a yearl fee to my understanding.
Now that would help homebrew, but ultimately that would suck and most people wouldn't do it as it gets far to complicated. There is something about sharing projects but it's not clear how to share, and it sounds like anything that can be shared is controlled by MS. Which means if someone ported XBMC to the 360 MS could step in and delete it and then ban the guys who made it. They could then also do the same thing with emulators which means really this becomes useless to the homebrew scene as only stuff MS approves could be made and then shared. Which means you'll be able to get more flash type games on the 360.
Although I'm not sure if this is all figured out yet. It will be interesting to see if it sucks or not. It really depends on exactly what the limits are with it. At the very least it should help hackers possibly find a way to softmod an xbox and be able to run real homebrew.
