XNA Announcement: X360 games full emulat ...

Redmond, Washington: Microsoft announces today at GDC, the Game Developers Conference, that they will be releasing the XNA 360 framework to PC gamers around the world. This framework effectively allows all games that fit into the XNA 360 paradigm to allow for full emulation, as they would natively on the 360 platform. XNA 360 is able to achieve this since many of the 360's APIs are currently found on the Vista operating system. For this very reason, those folks whom have purchased Vista Ultimate will be receiving this frame for free. Yes, you heard us right. Free. The catch? Purchasing Vista Ultimate is the only way to gain access to this service.The current display model used to demonstrate XNA 360 appeared to be a desktop running Intel's e6600 processor and a nVidia 8800GT. Surprisingly, the game being displayed was none other then Mass Effect - which was running at an astounding 60 frames per second, with no indication of visual hampering. ----- Sound's pretty sweet.XNA Announcement: X360 games full emulat ...

It does them no harm since the majority of the public know nothing about hardware or it's prices and see the console has a cheaper platform.
link?
