Microsoft today confirmed that the next iteration of Windows, Windows 8, will be integrating XBOX Live. Major Nelson revealed that XBOX Live on Windows "brings your games, music, movies, and TV shows to your favorite Microsoft and Windows devices". It's not clear if this means PC games will now be dumped together with this service(it makes sense though since GFW now doesn't even have it's own site). The post also talks about how devs can easily integrate XBOX Live on Windows for the games they are working on, which leads me to speculate that... yes... this is just a re branding of Games for Windows Live with connectivity to your XBOX Live profile/friends etc. Either way... RIP Games For Windows Live! You can watch the keynote presentation of Windows 8 here

Does this mean XBOX LIVE will have an MY-Locale?
