I don't get what your title has to do with what you just said (linked...kinda), is this another one of "those threads" of yours?

Microsoft's Gaming New = "As many of you know, Windows 8 will support Xbox 360 games, this will allow us to reach a wider demographic while still developing the game primarily for Xbox. The Xbox 360 continues to sell to this very day, and we, being the greedy people we are, wouldn't want people to migrate to PC and Windows 8 and play 360 games without the Xbox live $15 a month charge. So we are proud to announce, that once you have windows 8 installed, you will not be able to do anything at all, not even open notepad. You will be presented with a nice flashing screen where you will need to enter your payment method of choice and then follow the instructions. We are still deciding a fair price, but we are thinking around $40 because not only can you game, but you are allowed access to Word, Paint etc. After your month has run out your PC will not start until the payment is made to access Windows 8 for that month. If you are using your computer at the time of the months payment needing renew, your PC will shut off and save absolutely nothing. You will then have to pay to access your machine again and then re-do anything you didn't save. Thank you and we hope to see your money soon"

not gonna happen, xbox architecture and pc architecture is very different is not a matter of os, someone would have made it by now if it was a matter of software.

it probably is that they are going to bring the kinect crap to pc or something with the xbox live for pc.

well i don't know about the next xbox but he was talking about the xbox 360, plus if its true i doubt they will allow to play their next gen xbox games in the pc that would be like shooting the console in the head.

MS Flight (successor to FSX) should also be due out next year. That could be one as well.

They already tried that and PC gamers laughed at them. As for the story I am a bit confused here, at absolutely no point in the posted link was there any mention of "big news" about the PC. This is a news story about Microsoft pulling out of CES after this year (like a lot of companies seem to be doing). So I am a bit confused how the TC derived that there is some sort of mega super duper news coming for PC gaming from Microsoft.

Thought I was alone, considering how into this "MS and PC gaming" discussion most are in this thread. Most likely another case of "news, must post, read later".

knowing MS they will do the exact opposite. Made GFWL a paid service and sell Age of empire franchise ( though come to think of it selling AOE franchise to another company might actually be a good think )

I'm guessing on one of these

Window 8 will support 360 games

AOE 4 is being developed

Kinect for PC

Halo 4 is coming to PC

I lose my living room tv (a Samsung 46" LED) to my wife / kids most of the day, so hooking my rig to it is not an option.

Technically isn't MechWarrior online by Microsoft, they may not be developing it but they allowed Pirahna games to have the license to develop it

I'm actually Ok with the possible Kinect for PC announcement, think about it, many indie devs might make something amazing with it.

I would like to hear them announce that they are partnering with GoG.com to bring back all the old titles.

It has been years and years since the last time I saw Microsoft do something good for PC gaming.

Yeah they've pretty much shown how out of touch they're with PC gaming the second they released that AOE broswer game.
