Yeah whatever. Not even the awesome OSX can beat Xbox Windows.

Were you among those who jumped for joy when Windows Explorer got its new moniker? Good news, nomenclature fans, for Redmond has decided to label its new OS' built-in games and titles obtained from the Windows Store as "Xbox Windows." Along with the new branding, venerable Windows titles like Minesweeper, Solitaire and Mahjong will also offer Xbox Achievements, so you can bulk up your Gamerscore while wasting time at work. Full details of the achievement and point totals can be found at the source links below.

No shock there. Microsoft wants to own the PC gaming section too. Xbox, worst thing to ever happen to gaming.

lol... MS just wants to piss off their number one consumer.

You guys are silly. Xbox Windows is just the rebranding of GFWL to tie in with their most successful gaming platform. It doesn't change much of anything.
