Much thanks to briosafreak via his blog about the play.tm interview!
A couple of highlights -
Play.tm - Do Bethesda own the Fallout 'IP' in its entirety? We hear noises of an MMO from Interplay. PH - "We own Fallout. Period. We have licensed rights to Interplay, under certain conditions, to develop an MMO. But we still own the Fallout IP in its entirety."
......in other words - Bethesda pwnz the Fallout IP fanbitchez!!!11! so get used to it. 
---And a little more info on Dogmeat for those interested -
Dogmeat. Will our relationship with this canine companion help emotionally engage the player? Peter Molyneux's said he's using a dog in Fable 2 to help foster emotions in players. I think that would depend on the player. If you don't want a dog, don't let him come with you. He's a memorable "figure" from the previous games and we felt that in doing Fallout 3 we really needed to have a dog, called Dogmeat, who would go along with you. How attached you get to him is really up to you, as is everything else in the game.
