IE on the Xbox? I wonder if that means I can request one for my desk at work for browser testing.

Article is kind of light on details though. Does that mean the presentation was light on details? I'm guessing this is only for Windows8 devices.

From watching the Ars live blog, they announced it's on Android and iOS as well. Good move, there.

If that's the case then that's actually quite nice of them. I would not have expected that.

If this is going to be a competitive feature from Microsoft, they need to get it in the hands of as many people as possible.

Yeah, on this one they're not trying to kill Apple/Google, they're trying to kill Nintendo.

Plus, the Xbox division runs at arms-distance from the Windows team. Zune used to be there as well, but they've been pulled in/shut down.
