When Is Xbox Live Coming to Vista?

xbox live is coming to vista.  it's my understanding that "live anywhere" will allow you to create and access your xbox live account from pc (vista), windows mobile, cell phones, etc., even if you don't own an xbox.  ms is using this as a easy-access stepping stone for people to purchase a 360.

certain games will let you play against people on their 360s or even cell phones (like simpler puzzle games).

i'm not an xbox guy, but i'm pretty sure this is how it works.

K you guys have it all wrong. halo 2 pc wont be able to play halo 2 xbox. But their si hope for other games. In the new opperating system VISTA. they will have an ability to do croos platform. So if you have seen those games that say games for windows their going to change the requirments. For a game to be games for windows it has to have the ability to pllay against people who own an xbox.

So their will be an xbox live for pc and xbox.

now we all know wiki is not the law, but it does list halo 2 vista as a live anywhere game.

name changed to "live for windows" from "live anywhere" apparently
