At the BUILD conference today, Microsoft announced it will bring Xbox Live to Windows 8. The new start screen. While details are scarce, they claim the move "is part of [their] vision to bring you all the entertainment you want, shared with the people you care about, made easy." No details on price were mentioned. Games for Windows Live has gained a notorious reputation amongst gamers, so it appears Microsoft are taking a step back from the service. Microsoft has not announced a release date for their new operating system. What do you want to see from this new use of Xbox Live? Minesweeper achievements, anyone?

The concept is cool, I'm just not sold on Windows 8 I think it'll end up being the new Vista, a bit of something new but in the end not as good as 7.

Intriguing, but at the same time, scary... that looks. Drastically different.
