This was a Windows 8 preview not just a gamers preview... The XBox Live stuff was not the focus. The focus was showing the new Metro style UI to Windows which essentially replaces the traditional start menu and desktop.
And it is slick. Takes some getting used to and they really can't do it justice yet, but it will be excellent once it is fully ready.
Also, for those that say it is only for tablets and phones... Within two years it is predicted that there wil be no such thing as a PC that ships without touch capability... I wouldn't doubt if MS makes this a logo requirement of a Windows 8 PC because they really pushed the interface at their BUILD conference last week.
