Your toaster might be able to play Xbox games in the future.

Bill Gates hinted, that Microsoft considers to license the Xbox software platform to consumer electronics companies. This would extend the reach of Xbox potentially. No real details are available. It is not clear if Microsoft talks about Xbox or already Xbox 360.
