Microsoft introduce Windows Live Messenger en su nueva XBox 360

Microsoft has announced a major update to the XBox 360 which brings Windows Live Messenger functionality to its games console, connecting the device to the millions of users for whom 'Messenger' is already their IM client of choice. Right now 360 users can input text using a virtual on-screen keyboard or choose to plug in a USB one. However, later this year, Microsoft will release a new input device that combines a traditional XBox controller with a QWERTY thumb-board. Along with the recently added IPTV capabilities, this further positions the XBox 360 as Redmond's trojan horse designed to deliver Internet services into our living rooms.

Nota de Prensa: Your Xbox LIVE^® friends list is about to get a whole lot bigger. Microsoft Corp. today announced the launch of Windows Live™ Messenger on Xbox 360™, connecting friends across Xbox 360 consoles, Microsoft^® Windows^®-based PCs and Windows Mobile^®-powered devices. With this update to Xbox 360, friends and families can easily connect and chat directly from their television using Windows Live Messenger, a network of more than 20 billion relationships and more than 260 million active accounts.
