Um, what?  No, they are very different.

Under the hood, the original Xbox has more in common with the Xbox One than the 360.

The similarities is they both run DirectX - which is usually very backwards compatible, except the break from 9 to 10.  And Xbox One is DirectX 12, while 360 is DirectX 9.  (For reference the original Xbox is DX 8.)

That they got an emulator on the Xbox One to run X360 games and with improved rates is quite a nice accomplishment.

 

I'll believe that there is an emulator when I see it. From the info we have now and the fact that you have to download the whole game with a pretty small library of games it is clear for me that they merely ported 360 games to the X1 with the DVD as the license key. I really doubt there is any emulating involved.

I take it you are not a computer programmer, or computer tech.  The hardware on the 360 is very different than the Xbox One.  I'm not even sure what to say to 'I really doubt there is any emulating involved.'  It's kind of like saying a car that run on diesel could run on gasoline with no modifications.  But actually more different than that.

 Yes, 100 games is a ‘small library’ lol.  It's more than I own.

 

I agree with almost all of this.
