i would love to see support for webpages. i know this would be hard, but to make it easier, the xbmc team could take an open source browser and incorporate that.

thought it was a media center. you could argue that web content is media as well. usb keyboard support and a port of an open-source web browser such as mozilla would be a welcome addition to xbmc to me.
to tell you the truth, i'd be happier than a pig in poo if xbmc were the only program i ever had to look at on my xbox. all it lacks, as far as i'm concerned, is a few options like a web browser, games menu, and a few other bells and whistles and it could be a complete dashboard replacement. would sure beat the crap out of the sloppy interfaces that you find in a lot of other dashboards, file managers, etc.
if not adding these features to xbmc, it would be nice to see a consortium of homebrew xbox developers come together to integrate all of the great features of the many programs out there into one seamless, complete, total desktop solution that didn't require the use of linux.
but hey, i just use the stuff, i don't develop it.
