Microsoft is Screwing Up Live on Vista | |

A year ago this month, at the last really big E3 ever, Microsoft announced its Live Anywhere initiative, promising to rapidly extend Xbox Live to the PC and cell phones. Finally, your Xbox Live friends list, achievements, Live Arcade, and all that other good stuff would be accessible on those other platforms with over 100 million gamers. I was absolutely giddy. They didn't show the service off per se, but rather had a mock-up demonstration of what it would be like. You'd be sitting there on your PC and someone on the Xbox 360 would see you online, invite you into a cross-platform game, and away you'd go. They'd send you a message, and you'd get it on your phone, PC, 360—wherever you happen to be. You could edit your Forza Motorsport 2 car on your PC and then take it out on the 360 to drive. Sure it was just a mock-up, but the idea was to say, "This is what we're going for." | ||

| Great article. Microsoft needs to retain this editor and listen to what he is saying. |

LIVE on Vista just doesnt feel compelling. I think thats more a commentary on pc gaming though, and not just the LIVE product.
FWIW, LIVE on Vista works about the same as LIVE on Xbox1. IOW, I would expect version 2 to be an equally large leap forward. None of this stuff is done overnight, you know. |
