"Windows 7 will be great for games, undoubtedly," is the unequivocal quote from
Microsoft's Chris Lewis on
GamesIndustry.biz, saying: "It's all good news - it's even more robust, it's
quicker relatively, and the early testing cycles are proving very promising
overall." He promises they will have more to say on the topic later in the year,
reaffirming their commitment to PC gaming and the Games for Windows program. He
states: "Ultimately we're a Windows and PC company at heart, and that's not
going to change, and the development on both platforms will remain central and
important. The business ebbs and flows, and there will be times when we do more
on one platform than the other, but they do co-exist very nicely, and as a
company we're in a pretty unique position that we have a strong legacy on PC."
