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.

nah I don't confuse anything, but you might have forgotten that even the current preview of the emulator on X1 has problems running the games at their designed framerate and will probably never achieve a true 1:1.
Software emulation needs a lot of power, especially CPU power and since both PS3 and 360 had a very competent and complex CPU architecture that's no easy task.
