Here's a good starting point on the features and functionality provided in the Cross Platform Extensions beta - http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/7/6/7762e198-cad4-4fac-9946-e8978e90823c/OpsMgr2007-CrossPlat-WP_CD_April2008.pdf.
Also the System Center team posted some additional information - http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/7/6/7762e198-cad4-4fac-9946-e8978e90823c/OpsMgr2007-CrossPlat-WP_CD_April2008.pdf
