Reports are that Microsoft will launch Windows 8 with the ability to play Xbox 360 games on a PC. The Xbox 360 games on PC will apparently carry a subscription fee.
For online gaming, Windows Live Marketplace will be used and PC owners will not be able to play directly against Xbox 360 users. This will probably be used as a means to extend interest in certain software titles sometime after the next Xbox releases.
Microsoft recently announced plans to merge the Xbox.com and Games For Windows Marketplace.
