Achievements coming toward the PC and they will be combined with your XBL gamerscore.

Kind of cool. But we thought it was bad when people were selling points and now with it on the PC... it will get even worse.

What I want to freaking know is what's the deal with the playing online and stuff. For those who haven't paid for online play for games like RTS and FPS, do they have to start paying for that now?? Kind of interesting though. f everything turns out right, I might just cop a computer for Vistas and keep one with XP on it so I don't have to be babysat. We'll see how this goes on the real.

I'm just excited to finally play Halo 2 since that's the first game to support it for Vista. And as far as I know, the payment gives users the benefit of PC/360 compatibility in games, in other words, PC users vs 360 users if you have XBL Gold. Besides, if you don't have a 360 or don't play online with your 360, why bother paying the fee for Gold right?

So silver users playing other silver users on PCs can still play online for free.
