Can PC play against Xbox? I'd rather they couldn't, the experienced mouse and keyboard users will waste the console players I reckon.

It did, but it's the only current one to allow it. In fact the only game on the horizon I know of that will also support it is Sega's Universe at War (I think that's it).

Is CoD4 Games for Windows Live then? Though even if it is that doesn't necessarily mean cross platform play.

One of the very few that did it, it's certainly not standard. I think it only works on the games that are written for DX10 and Vista, the "Games for Windows" ones that have achievements. As far as I know, COD4 hasn't been made like that.

As I understand it, it breaks down like this:

Games For Windows - Games certified (maybe even published) by Microsoft for whatever that's worth. It should install well and play nice with Windows, so say MS

Games for Windows Live - Games that are tied to Live like an xbox game. You need a Live ID or local profile to track saves and gamerscore, and a gold account to play on Live servers with matchmaking etc. Cross platform play is not a pre-requisite, just an option.
