So how exactly does that make them any different from their much maligned and nearly abandoned Games for Windows Live service?
 
Yes! Jetpack Joyride and Fruit Ninja FTW!!!

Microsoft should add a search feature on their app store on windows 8.
 
Doesn't Steam, U-play and Origin allow to some level social integration, achievements and so on for windows? Despite all this I still don't use the features and windows 8 certainly won't change that cause don't see the point in connecting with players on a MP server that I will never talk to again.
My opinion, Microsoft is just looking for features to throw into Windows 8 for the sake of it. Xbox gamers game on a Xbox and PC games on their PC, they won't dilute their collections.
 
It's Games for Window Live re-branded into Xbox Live and made exclusively for the Metro UI, so it's a games label meant for non-gamers.
 
This will work for those office folk who need to pass time... Who usally downoad and play anything. I am not stereo typing (or maybe I am) but I can see who they appealing to... The app store is available out of the box and lots of people woul n't bother going much further than that. My 2c.
