As part of Microsoft's continuing effort to provide its users one all-encompassing ecosystem for all of their entertainment needs (or something), the company has announced (http://majornelson.com/2011/09/13/xbox-live-and-windows-8/) that its latest operating system, Windows 8, will support Xbox Live.
Exact details on integration are forthcoming, but the biggest question that surfaces in our is: What does this mean for Games for Windows Live (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/games-for-windows-live)?
We've got some questions in to Microsoft and will update as soon as we can. [Update: A Microsoft spokesperson tells us "we currently have nothing to announce beyond the statement that Major Nelson posted on his blog."] In the meanwhile, how about some tentative rejoicing?
