I prefer that ms retains control of live like they have, as I see it as one of the reasons it is able to surpass other online services. It is easier for them to make changes and upgrades when they only have to think of how it benifits/effects live and not other services. Having their hands tied by other companies would suck. I also do not see a problem with them still requiring people to pay for gold as they will still be getting access to other live features I would assume such as cross game chat and the unified freinds list.
