Remarks
This method compares the invoking object (this) with the given XboxLiveDeviceAddress object, and returns a value you can use to sort XboxLiveDeviceAddress objects. A.Compare(B) returns 0 if A and B refer to the same device. If they don't refer to the same device, then if A.Compare(B) returns -1, B.Compare(A) returns +1. The returned value can thus be used to consistently sort one XboxLiveDeviceAddress relative to another.
No connection to either of the XboxLiveDeviceAddress objects involved is required; and this method doesn't initiate communication with them.
