I wouldn't recommend it. There is a ~3 second lag between real-time and
what is displayed on the Media Center due to the buffering on the Media
Center. Unless you can judge what will happen 3 seconds from now, your
experience of Console games on Media Center will be less that desirable.

You don't want to do this. There is a noticeable lag due to the video strem
buffering on MCE. IT's like driving a moon buggy - you have 3 seconds delay
before you see the result. Less than that on MCE, but enough to make it
unplayable

If Vista doesnt work with the Xbox, I doubt XP will
