Its bizzare when you think about it.

MS could create something at par with Steam's service with a fraction of the m oney they've put into Xbox.

i think they are afraid to go up against Steam

Microsoft tends not to have much goodwill with PC gamers, poor support, closed PC devs or shifted them over to Xbox only. (Anvil, Lionhead, Ensemble, FASA, just to name a few.)
They tried the Xbox on PC thing once before... PC Gamers laughed and ridiculed them for it. Ironically... They seem to be making almost the same mistakes again, it is difficult to displace Steam as people genuinely love it, Microsoft's PC gaming attempts? Not so much.
High price, poor support, tons of DRM, no PC centric features like modding. = They won't get anywhere unless Microsoft pulls their finger out.
