Xbox Live for Windows is launching May 8th. We will finally find out who is better, the keyboard and mouse, or the console controller. Unfortunately you can't choose whether you go up against a keyboard or a controller so that may ba a problem but otherwise a great thing to counter the announcement of the Playstation Home concept. This completes Microsofts vision of a unified experience between PC and all the other electronics in the home. This is directed straight at the gamer audience who were in heated debates over the keyboard versus the controller and it complements the Xbox Live Gold Service very well. If you have Xbox Live Gold it will work on your Vista powered computer as well. You will use the same gamertag as on Xbox Live. Achievement Points will be added for doing things in the games that are supported. The durrent games that are supported are Halo and Shadowrun. It requires Xbox Live Gold to play online and also requires Vista on your computer to work.
