| I guess the reason they did not do this for Windows 7 is that they can sell their next generation of WinDOS to at least the XBOX users... |

| Actualy, it looks more like they are blending PC with XBox -as has always been M$ case. Don't know why they bothered continuing with PC, since billy boy, buys exclusive for his xbox and stuffs the PC market -in most cases. |

Right. What I mean is the timing.
After XP, people did not want Vista.
After Vista, people did not want Windows 7.
After Windows 7, people would probably not want Windows 8.
MS had to throw in something every time they wanted to sell their rubbish. They could easily add it to Windows 7 you know... |

| This will do nothing but make gaming on the PC even worse than it already is. |

I do not think it's about blending.
I think it's about dropping support for the XBOX. |

Looking at how shit Win8 is currently shaping into a new form of barely improved poo, adding xblock 360 support would be like the directx10/11 crap they pulled on XP..
Only now they get something new to use to entice the PC suckers into a live cloud subscription scrap heap of DRM, screw u nicely emarkets and Microshitting insidious spyware crap that just out there 'protecting you' for the legal fascist policy scum, that you will love because well it all sounds so good being 'connected' and into microscum networks and whatever other garbage they'll try shove through. |

I can't help but agree with this. This seems like a loophole they can use to shorten support lifespan for older platforms by offering PC support instead. This isn't to say that support will really exist on the PC but the point is they offer that option. |
