This initiative will lead to development tools previously available only to the Xbox becoming available to Windows developers as well, such as the audio authoring tool XACT , the analysis tool PIX , and the set of Xbox Live development tools for features such as billing, security and matchmaking services. The XNA initiative will also similarly benefit Xbox, for example by bringing Windows' High-Level Shader Language (HLSL) to the platform.
XNA is proposed to work on Windows, Xbox 2, and mobile devices.
