It is designed to get you writing games for the XBox BUT... it can write games for Windows as well, and in fact they are apparently interchangeable, once written they can be played on the XBox (but not for free). The best part is that they have a very basic cannon / flying saucer demo game with videos for how to develop this game, all of the source code, sprites etc. I have stepped through the first few chapters and it really does start at ground zero. They claim you don't even need to know C# to follow the tutorial. As we all know, writing a project that holds your interest is the best way to get involved and learn a language.
