Microsoft Fails PC Gamers?

Microsoft Fails PC Gamers on Daily Game (thanks Voodoo Extreme) offers some harsh criticism of Microsoft's Games for Windows initiative. Taking MS to task for Vista-only games, the shortcomings of the PC editions of Halo 2 and Shadowrun, and premium functionality that's free in existing applications, the article asks, with tongue-in-cheek, whether Redmond is trying to kill off PC gaming altogether. Turning to constructive criticism, the piece then offers several suggestions on how to address their complaints.

It's pretty obvious gamers don't want to have a horrible os shoved down their throats, much less have a non-free notworking platform shoved along with it.
And I can understand the idea that Microsoft is hurting the pc market by doing this.

At some point, you have this kid with an xbox360 and a brand new vista pc. Which is he going to use to do gaming on? Right.

Wether microsoft is doing this to kill pc gaming intentionally, I don't think so. Gamers are the ones pushing pc technology. This enables them to output more software, and do things like the DX10 chokehold.
