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.

12:51: 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 message to Major Nelson, who is working on a Vista PC. On the right-hand side is his friends list, just like Xbox 360--GamerTag on there too. Henson says acheivements on any platofrm will add to one single gamer score, and GamerTag will be the same too.

E3 Demos are on live, if you have a 360 dl the Lost planet demo...it is the first game that i can say is truely a next gen game, this game is absolutely stunning and has far surpassed all my expectations and I've only played the damn demo!

I downloaded the demo but haven't played it yet. Live has been getting crushed this week with all the E3 stuff, so DL takes forever. I did get Uno though.
