Players will play Xbox Live on Vista PC

According to the announcement of Microsoft Corporation, the upcoming Live Online gaming service will be extended to both gamers playing on computers with Windows Vista operating system installed.

After the announcement of the chairman of Bill Gates for nearly a year with the expectation that the Live game service can be played anywhere, the expansion of Live's service audience this time will connect video game consoles, computers and mobile phones.

The Live version of the computer will open on May 8 with the launch of Halo 2, a popular Microsoft action game for the Vista operating system.

Windows Vista will support Live game play on PC.

By June, Microsoft's Game Studios will release Shadowrun, the first Live game that supports the ability to play between gamers on both Xbox 360 and computers.

Whether playing on an Xbox 360, on a computer or on both machines, Live members only need one account.

There are 2 member account levels registered. Silver accounts are free and gold accounts charge 50 USD / year. These types of accounts will provide Live gaming capabilities on different workstation platforms (Xbox or PC) and features to play simultaneously with many others.

Microsoft's online gaming service is the determining factor for the success of the Xbox 360 gaming console, which was launched in 2005. It is also a competitive element of the Microsoft-made gaming machine with Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii.
