That would be a resounding... no.

I didn't think so...

We're talking about 10 years or so into the future. They would probably just send out a firmware update that would allow you to play games without this process since it would no longer be able to be put online.

You think M$ would do that... fat chance, as they could then not make so much money with Xbox Two. ;)

If it is not backwards compatible which I assume it won't be then there is no money to be made so yeah I think that is exactly what they would do and people will get upset all over again because ten years after the system came out it would finally be the way it should have been the whole time.
Polygon:
Exactly, there's no reason for them to. There's nothing in it for them. Fully expect that sucker to become a brick.

I'll be honest. Of all the things that bug me about this system, like Used Games, Kinect, the damn TV...backwards compatibility doesn't bother me in the slightest. Does anyone actually use that after a few months? I have a fully backwards compatible PS3, and I think I've played 2 games on it. I always just hook up my PS2 and play with that instead...better controller. Same thing with Xbox 1..I mean Xbox Classic. The damn black and white buttons are different for 360 (which wont even play half the games) so again, I just plug in that old, black, 20lb brick.
Let's think about this...in reality, the only system that was ever truly backwards compatible was the PS2. That's it.
Snes didnt play NES, Genesis/MD didnt play master system, DC didnt play anything else...
The PS2 was it.
And to this day I STILL play my PS1 games predominantly on my PS1

I'm with ya on this one. It's the one serious gamer gripe that I hear all the time and simply don't get. I seriously couldn't care less. Not to mention that transferring save files isn't always an option when there is BC, and the whole new controller thing like you mentioned.
