Wouldn't anyone with a mouse just crap all over anyone with an Xbox controller, unless they activate some sort of auto-aim cheat for the console types?
I'm pretty sure GoW would be Live Anywhere. It's one of their flagship titles. They push 4 parts of the initiative: Games for Windows branding (for compatibility, especially the 360 controller on the pc), Live Anywhere, XNA, and something else :) It's kinda funny in the article there is some dev commentary saying pc gamers would basically have an unfair advantage. Should be very interesting.

What's really funny is that I have friends who only know shooters through consoles who claim that they're just as responsive as any PC player. Now granted, I'm absolutely worthless playing a shooter with a console controller (that's why I don't buy those games on a console), but I've seen these guys play stuff like Halo (and unlike me, they're actually good at shooters with a gamepad), and any half-assed PC gamer would just smoke 'em. Someone really good would tear into them like a priest into an altar boy.
No matter how often I reiterate this, though, they just won't believe it. For some god-awful, unholy reason they've equated the gamepad as the "proper" controller for shooters rather than the hacked together kludgy abortion that it is.
On the bright side, playing vs PC players might at least convince console gamers that their systems need a mouse+keyboard; oh, and a high resolution screen (since it is used to watch the action, we could refer to it as a "monitor"); then they'll need enough RAM to support the higher resolutions of course. We could start calling them 'Personal Consoles', or 'PCs' for short, and eventually forget about the whole horrible episode that the spread of gimped computers sold as gaming "konsouls" has been.
