Max,

Good info, couple of questions.

A. MCE is only available as an OEM operating system and so can usually only be acquired by purchasing a PC with MCE pre-installed by the vendor. However those with an MSDN subscription will find that MCE is included with the other OS variants such as Tablet PC and x64 edition.
Actually anyone can purchase a copy through places like AusPCMarket, comes bundled with remote or keyboard.

A. Yes. Most MCE plug-ins will work without issue when accessed by the XBOX360. I am personally using My Movies, NewsGator MCE Edition and MCEBrowser without any issues.
How did you get MyMovies to work with 360, I gather you converted DVD's to WMV but I still have issues just getting the 2 to talk nice. see thread. My Movies shows up on 360 but then there must be permissions issues.

Later,
