Well, no, microsoft still has some control. Even though they've shut off the authentication servers for the original XBL, there's still a lot of integration.. I can still see my friends list, see what games people are playing (bot 360 and oxbox) and obviously can still get into matchmaking.
So the systems are still integrated. Microsoft could push out an XBL update at any point that removes all legacy compatibility, which would instantly kick us all offline.
