OS here is open source, this is pretty significant since they plan to offer MIT licensed versions of lots of their internal tools and SDK's. The C++ compiler is an attempt at capturing the HPC market by providing tools to convert 90% of CUDA code to portable C++ that can run on AMD and NVidia cards. Lots of bare metal GPU access stuff too, so lots more control for Game developers. Lots of goodies.
