Microsoft Not Dropping GFWL [Apr 17, 2012, 10:07 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Since Microsoft plans to include Xbox LIVE functionality in Windows 8, Neogamr approached them asking if this meant a possible end to the Games for Windows LIVE service, since there is some obvious overlap between the two. The reply was no, offering the perspective that Age of Empires Online and "Microsoft Flight" are targeted at "the core PC gamer." Here's word:
Answer is no, Microsoft continues to support the Games for Windows platform, but we are making new investments in Metro style games. For the core PC gamer we launched “Age of Empires Online” last year and “Microsoft Flight” on February 29.
When it comes to the living room, Xbox 360 was the number one selling connected TV device in 2011 and we have 40 million Xbox LIVE members. We are committed to delivering extraordinary entertainment experiences across devices in a uniquely connected way. Xbox LIVE on Windows 8 is a milestone in that journey. With the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, you’ll get a taste of some of the features we’re bringing with Xbox on Windows, but we’ll have more to share later this year as we get closer to launch.
I've got a feeling I'll stick around with Win7 for a while longer.
Have any of you guys noticed a funny pattern in Windows releases?
Win98 - Good
WinMillenium - Bad
WinXP - Good
WinVista - Bad
Win7 - Good
Win8 - ?
I think the pattern's about to repeat itself.
