While the lion's share of information and details on Microsoft's online service for Xbox will come in the form of an announcement at E3, IGN has learned several new tidbits about the plan, that can now officially be referred to as Xbox Live.
The name is intended to cover everything that Microsoft plans on doing with the service, which could very well include applications beyond online console gaming. Several answers to our Xbox Live questions were provided by Xbox Product Manager, David Hufford. We present the short form interview below.

Some of the key details we now know about Xbox Live include:
  • Match-making service to find other online players
  • Instantly switching games in real time
  • No keyboard and mouse whatsoever
  • Applications for Xbox Live go beyond gaming
The match-making service is seen as a crucial element in getting gamers to get online and get playing as soon as possible. This is as significant as getting users onto the service quickly and easily.
