Rumour: Windows 8 Will Play Xbox 360 Games
According to sources, ‘Xbox 360 on PC’ will have a subscription fee similar to - but not – Xbox Live. Gamers will use Windows Live Marketplace and only be able to play against other PC gamers and not those on real 360s due to mouse vs controller imbalances.
Could this service be the ‘relaunch of gaming’ that was promised for Windows 8?
“Windows 8 will represent a real new push into PC gaming,” a source told TechRadar. “Gaming will be a key component for the whole OS.”
Please note that this is a totally unsubstantiated rumour, and an old one at that.

I'd love this, since this would probably mean more games for pc. However, I don't want to have to pay a separate fee to the same company I'm already shelling out to for xbox live (which offers similar services).
