This may be obvious to some people but I think I figured something out.  Some programs that run on the MCE PC run from EXE files and some run from html applications as activeX components.  It seems extenders can only run the HTML apps so anything like GameEx(which runs a seperate EXE file) won't even show up on the XBox Extender interface.  I read the interview on MSDN with the creator of GameEx and he said it is not an HTML app because it didn't allow him to create the interface he wanted or something to that effect.  It doesn't sound easy to convert a program to run in an HTML app so its way out of my league.

Hmm... Wait a min... what's that remote software you can use from any pc via a web browser??? I wonder if it could be used with the media center to run apps ... now of course you'd really just be running them off of another pc using the x360 and the media center...
