Default Chris Lewis Speaks of Xbox, Games for Windows

http://www.totalvideogames.com/articles/TVG.Speaks...Chris_Lewis_Part_2_Feature_11063_6321 _0_0_0_0_20.htm

"In the first part of our chat with Chris Lewis, the European Xbox chief spoke about expanding the Xbox user base beyond hardcore gamers, the possibilities of larger hard drives, and the earlier issues with three flashing red lights. But Lewis' position is more than just Xbox 360 - he's also responsible for bringing Zune to European shores at the end of 2007, as well as Microsoft's latest initiative to kick-start PC gaming, the "Games for Windows" brand. In this concluding part, TVG asks about these broader responsibilities, as well as his thoughts on Sony's European delay for PlayStation3...and a postponed movie starring everybody's favourite Mjolnir armour-wearing super-soldier..."

So, in short: Microsoft has no current plans on bringing a web browser to the Xbox (both the Wii and the PS3 come with the ability to surf over the console) as they're not seeing any interest in it. They're going to begin pushing their 'Games for Windows' logo, hoping to remind everyone where true gamers (and all the best games) live. :wink: And... in an effort to create synergy between the Zune, Xbox and PC, Chris says they're currently looking into offering games for the Zune. I imagine that will be for a G2-Zune since I don't see the current Zune as being very game-oriented.
