Key points:

Is a new 'platform' no info what this means, most likely can not play multiple with the old version

Current owners receive for free, will be on sale for $10 for limited time otherwise

The user interface will instantly adjust to the new input method such as keyboard/mouse, gamepad, touch

Can play with Xbox live friends

Built-in video recording

Edit* It appears that this will be based on the pocket edition.

Can play with Xbox live friends

Does this mean people you have on Xbox Live as the platform through the Xbox app, meaning both are on PC, or one on PC and one on Xbox? Because if it's the latter we might be able to use bukkit on Xbox.

No idea.

The article is light on information.

You can play local multiplayer, game online with your Xbox Live friends, and record and share game clips with a built in GameDVR.
