Anyone else miss the Microsoft announcement in May, introducing Xbox Live Anywhere? Coupled with the next Windows OS, Vista, cross platform gaming will be possible. This is Huge in my opinion.

Looks like they incorporated a lot of Xfire's features.
What a way to insure that every gamer wants to upgrade to the Vista OS and subscribe to Live Anywhere.
