Run Windows MCE Applications on Xbox 360

BlueMoon writes "A user of the GA-forum found out the Media Extender on the Xbox 360 allows to stream Windows MediaCenter applications over network on your Xbox 360 console. While the applications themselves will run on the MCE PC, it'll stream the interface/input to the Xbox360/PC. Simple MCE apps like those modified browsers to pull down news stories, stock quotes, sports scores etc., as well as several internet radio clients worked fine. Mini-games like a Tetris clone and some card game crashed, but then again ... that seems to be a normal behaviour for the 360."

Where does this data come from, anyway?

a core dump puller... maybe even one of those nice windows that tells you that your application has crashed and asks if you would like to send the details to Microsoft. But then again if the hardware is what crashed the XBOX 360 in the first place what is the point?
