I suspected the BT deal would be in this announcement. I already have the IPTV offering from BT which is effectively a heavily customised windows media center.
I guess we can expect that version of the media center shoehorned into the 360 system which to be honest would suit me, I can see a few second systems creeping into UK homes as part of this deal.
Hopefully BT will produce more information once Bill has spilt the beans.
