With an excuse for a proper keyboard, all MSFT need to do now is to make a copy of Office available for the Xbox and it will have a proprietary PC that plugs into everyone's TV!
The transition to Apple will be complete. Except that there'll be games for this one.
Would be interesting to know if you'll be able to use the headset/webcams to chat to Windows Live folks, - this feature would be a blow to Google talk and Skype for sure.
Also what what are going to do about people who have separate Live IDs for their Xbox Live and Windows Live profiles, will we be able to merge them?
.. She will soon be an Xbox widow. Its been bad enough with my Gears of War addiction but now im just going to be glued to the thing... So many friends and family members have Xbox 360 and live now... Soon it will be time to plug into it for good .... When does the "Better than life" rebrand start ...

I want one!
How cute is that little keyboard and while not as usable as a full keyboard, it should be fine for a two thumb affair.
Although it won't be hard to tell the difference with who is using a 360 and who is using a PC. Hint... Zzzzzzz.
