writes "Microsoft announced the release of free XNA Game Studio
Express tools for developing C# games that run on both Windows
and XBox. They're also selling XNA Creators Club subscriptions,
which, similar to MSDN subscriptions, offer access to sample
code and additional documentation. Also, Microsoft is explicitly
aiming towards uniting the Windows and XBox development
platforms: 'You will have to compile the game once for each
platform. In this release simply create a separate project for
each platform and then compile them both. Our goal is to allow
as much code as possible to be shared between those two
projects, allowing you to use the same source files in both
projects, but platform-specific code will need to be
conditionally-compiled.'"  Microsoft Publishes Free XBox
