I understand the offline feature of achievements for games for windows, but it wil be really great and bring more effort, if the gamerscore offline can be added online to a silver or gold account on xbox live.

Plus, as i read before, is this a update because 250+ people ask for it in your latest blog:

If so, what can we see in the couple of months....

I partly agree with the Fall update comments (even though we're all off topic here). I'm not in favor of getting a Fall update, just for the sake of getting an update. There's ALOT already being offered and working great. BUT if you guys are planning an update that will actually offer further some enhancements, well then some details would be nice. We've only got about a month left before Black Friday and the update should have been out well before then. If the update starts to mess up systems (read: brick), you don't want that PR issue going into the holiday shopping season.

Hybrid,

the fall update is top secret and the universe as we know it might collapse if details about it are released too soon.

Yeah, the last Live update was nice in Halo 2, which I just started playing. "Your saved game is different from the profile stored on Live. You need to restart from the beginning of the level." Duh!

I want the gamertag dashboard in Vista. So i can access my gamertag etc (like on the 360) on my desktop.

A very small step forward for Games for Windows. I'm still waiting for guide accessibility from the desktop or sidebar.

Very, very very very very small step. It's not even the half of features that you can get with Steam.

That cool no we only need the games that have the Games For Windows that actually have achievements.

As far as I know the only game with achievements on the PC is Halo 2....

Will it be a standalone download into Vista or is it still only available through games?

Could we get a more detailed changelist when it becomes available?

I can't wait! The one thing that I hope comes soon is the ability to access the guide, friends list, etc via a standalone client and not have to be in a game.

I've got Halo 2 vista, and it was the biggest waste of money ever. Its basically unplayable until they patch it (STILL hasn't happened). But I'm excited for the GFW update... should fix a few things I've been complaining about.

I definitely agree with XSAVAGE, accessibility to your Gamertag from your desktop was something we were really hoping for with Windows Live and it didn't come. This will be crucial to making that platform truly flawless between platforms.
