    Dang, another article about "vista gaming" that answers very few of my questions. Maybe it's just presumed what Live! will offer since so many use it on their xbox but...

    Will Live! for windows offer:
    - auto updates
    - a standardized server browser
    - a friends finder
    - game downloads (demos, trailers, etc)
    - game purchases

    basically...is Live! for windows a steam-like equivalent?
