Where's the H2 Vista Online Test Lead guy when you need him? :p
I am still waiting for a link.
From gamespot:12:44: Gates announces new platform--"Live Anywhere." Will be part of Windows Vista--will have one user interface, one identity, one friends list, one message center, one marketplace. Same as Xbox Live 360, same interface, embedded in Windows.
12:45: Gates talks up mobile phone gaming, says there's a "lot of opportunity."
12:48: Gates says Live Anywhere will extend to mobile phones but is vague on specifics. Says that Microsoft is the only company in the world capable of such an undertaking.
12:51: Scot Henson, director of platform strategy for Xbox and Windows, takes the stage to show off Live Anywhere. Starts up game of Shadowrun, connects with friends list--which shows whether his friends are on a PC, Xbox 360, or mobile phone. He sends a message to Major Nelson, who is working on a Vista PC. On the right-hand side is his friends list, just like in Xbox 360--GamerTag is on there, too. Henson says achievements on any platform will add to one single gamer score, and the GamerTag will be the same, too.
12:53: Live Anywhere will have the same reputation anywhere, says Henson. He then pulls out a Motorola Q cell phone with Windows Mobile. The phone has the Xbox Arcade games he downloaded on his Xbox 360 on his phone. He plays a game of Zuma. Then he plays a music video he downloaded onto his Xbox 360 on his phone. The phone menu also has a movie option for "X-Men."
