We're talking 360 games here, even a crap PC by todays standards could handle that.

We're talking about software emulation here, not straight ports.

A crap PC might be able to do PS2 and Wii emulation by now, but surely not 360.

Unlikely, what you're referring to is the resistance of companies like Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo etc... to allow such software to exist and be continuously updated.  Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo would absolutely be able to make an emulation tool for 360/PS3/Wii, and you'd be able to run it windowed, while multi-tasking in the background.

Do not confuse the capability, with companies protecting their investment.
