The 360 plays original X-Box games through emulation.  This means that there are specific games that will play and won't play.  They need to be added to the compatible list by Microsoft making a patch, which they haven't really done all that fast.  Here's a list:

There are some X-Box games that can be downloaded from X-Box Live under the title "X-Box Originals."

There are some good X-Box games that you can download and I think they work off the of the BC ability.  There are some people who never got the original X-Box (MS said that they had planned to kill the console when it sold 30 million units, so a lot of people probably did miss out) so they might want to play older games now without buying another console.
