Xbox Live in Windows 8

The next operatingsystem from mighty Microsoft is set to be released next year, and Major Nelson has now confirmed the rumour that Xbox Live will indeed be integrated into Windows 8. What this will actually mean - if we for instance will be able to play Xbox Live Arcade-games in an Windows-environment as has been rumoured for a long time, has yet to be confirmed.

Major Nelson describes the integration like this:

We are confirming that we will be bringing Xbox LIVE to the PC with Xbox LIVE on Windows. We are very excited about Xbox LIVE coming to Windows 8. Xbox LIVE brings your games, music, movies, and TV shows to your favourite Microsoft and Windows devices. Bringing Xbox LIVE to Windows 8 is part of our vision to bring you all the entertainment you want, shared with the people you care about, made easy.
