I like how windows live is linked to xbox live, and this is even better as long as its not a seperate fee. This may bring all xbla games to the pc guys, isn't that a good thing? I also wonder if it will run iside the windows will it make it even easier to port console games to the pc? what if you could play the same disc in both? I know may not be tha case, but would be ideal. You have a standard console(360 or next xbox) that devs could code for, and a pc running the same os with variable specs (pc) to get extra horsepower/ visuals at added end user work (keeping driver updated and compatible). Maybe my heads is in the clouds this moring though. Not mention this would run across all mobile device with windows 8 right?

It wouldn't make porting any easier than it already is and would not bring over any XBLA games that the developers/publishers don't want to port. And the same game running on PC and next box wouldn't happen unless the next xbox is running a windows kernel and a x86 architecture both of which aren't going to happen and even if it did the number of developers willing to port their games to PC ensure they run on a verity of hardware and add keyboard and mouse controls and then include it on the disc for "free" would be very few and far between.
