Yes, as long as the keyboard maps are the same. So, what about the ones have to setup the harmony through the page?

All I want to do is have the harmony turn on the stereo, turn on the tv and startup WMC with Windows Key + ALT + ENTER. Then when I’m done, I want the Harmony to Close WMC with ALT + F4, turn off the tv and turn off the stereo. Will choosing the XBMC device from the Harmony setup and this new firmware allow me to do that out of the box, or do I need to configure/edit/use another program to help with the combos?
