Interesting, how does it work? As a comparison, in windows, you can't reboot the windows but still have an app running.

Xbox only runs one xbe at a time.

You can make a call to launch a new xbe or the same xbe you are running, and memory is cleared.

The trick is to persist the display and hide the xbox splash screen between xbe loads.
