Microsoft launched a program called Live Anywhere that enables PC gamers to "unite" and play with 360 gamers. There is no set release date for Live Anywhere, but it will ship in a few months with games such as Uno, Shadowrun, and the ever popular Halo 2. The program will be shipped on the game discs themselves and only takes up 5MB of space.

Live Anywhere will only work when a compatible program is running. In order to login, the user will need their Windows ID. After signing in, the player will see their friends list, send and receive messages, send and/or receive party invites, as well as many other XBL features. Live Anywhere will enable the user to update both their console and PC to prevent one machine running a different version than the other.

Future updates will include access to your Gamertag on a PC, outside of an application, is being worked on. For example, you'd be able to sign on Xbox Live account as if it were a chat program such as AIM, mIRC, etc. and you will be able to communicate with users while working in another programs such as IE and MS Word, as well as access the Xbox Live Marketplace.
