A related cool-idea-that-won't-happen would be some less-locked-down form of Windows in an XBox. More so than last gen's Jaguar cores, this console gen's CPU cores should be fine for PC use for a while. It'd probably have to be kind of a VM in a 'game', to avoid revamping the outer OS. They'd probably want to nerf the GPU in Windows to reduce folks' temptation to use it to route around the XBox store (for graphically intense games at least), and maybe price Windows to make up for decreased game revenue per console. Even given all that it might let folks with XBoxes cheaply "get a PC" of sorts, and so come a bit closer to the rest of MS's world. Probably technical, business, and other issues with that, but again, I did say fun idea that won't happen.
