that is a band-aid (TM) on the problem - i agree it will work in the short term, but the obvious solution is to not buy into their licensing and proprietary crap to begin with. you can probably build a better/good-enough MAME machine for less, or even slightly more, which has been said many times over the threads on the XBox, and then be able to simply release openly your kits so everyone can improve them and benefit from them.
Plus the fact that every ex-box you buy stabs MS for a 100 bucks if you only use MAME on it, using it to play only games that do not support MS.
I am sure there are other levels as well, depending on you sense of humor.
