Not surprising but we need the games in place as well as mainstream DX10 cards in abundance (and cheap) before it can really take off. In theory, DX10 should see much better framerates than DX9 (as there is far less overhead in DX) but this may be difficult to evaluate if the game increases the level of eye candy on screen. Really, Vista gaming peformance is largely an unknown area esp. with the current sets of drivers we have (which are pants).

...we showed how we’re bringing the Xbox Live experience to Windows. We’re calling it LIVE, and it’s as simple as its name. Now, gamers on both Xbox and Windows will have one identity, one friends list, and one consistent set of experiences that will travel with them across both platforms...

Lets hope they increase the size of the friends list from 100 then, the one from my 360 is nearly full already, and If I have to add my PC buddies as well...

Excellent point. Friend list should be unlimited!

I'm not worried about the size of the friends list yet (obviously I'm not as popular as you lot! ), what I do want though is the ability to sort my friends list into groups. Every once in a while I look down the list and notice there are names which I don't recognise whatsoever so I end up removing them.

It'd be great if we could organise them into groups like friends, family, hexus etc. Boy are we going off topic or what...
