At E3 2007 today, we met with Kevin Unangst, the global director of Games for Windows, and Chris Early, the new general manager for Games for Windows Live. Though they didn't go into specifics regarding Microsoft's plans for the future of the PC as a gaming platform, they did share some news and gave us a few insights into where it's headed.

The biggest news for many of you is the announcement that GFW Live, currently Vista-only, will be headed to Windows XP. This was actually sort-of announced in the MS press conference on Tuesday night, when Cliff Blezinski announced that the PC version of Gears of War, which uses GFW Live, will be available on Windows XP as well as Vista. It sort of went unnoticed, but we have confirmed that indeed, GFW Live will hit XP this year.

Although Early and Unangst were quick to point out that Vista has sold over 40 million copies and they figure 10 million of those are core gamers, they recognize that XP still has a huge installed base and will continue to for some time. Don't expect DirectX 10 to come to XP, though.

Ricordo che GFW sta per "Game for Windows", un'iniziativa/progetto commerciale di MS per quanto concerne il suo reparto giochi precedentemente concentrata tutta su Vista.....ora non più

Veramente GfW non indicava giochi esclusivi per Vista, ma anche per XP, è il Live che era un'esclusiva per Vista

Come riportato sul sito ufficiale del progetto

Quote:

2) Compatibility. Games for Windows branded titles work on Windows XP and Windows Vista based PCs, including both 32 and 64 bit editions. Games for Windows titles that support controllers are also compatible with the Microsoft XBOX 360 controller for Windows, including the XBOX 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. They even support widescreen resolutions and more.

Avevo provato ad accedere al sito per cercare informazioni più precise ma mi dava Errore 404

Che i moderatori modifichino il titolo allora (aggiungendo "Live"), l'importante è che non ci sarà più questa assurda divisione, almeno per i giochi DX9.

Anche per me è la stessa cosa, non accede alla home page, ma alle "sotto-pagine" sì
