Microsoft seem to be extending their efforts to tie the Xbox and PC platforms together, by Windows Gaming boss Dean Lester announcing that all the peripherals for Xbox 2 will also work on the PC.
Speaking in an interview this week, Lester confirmed that "Xbox 2 peripherals will all work on PC," while the next version of Windows, currently codenamed Longhorn, will provide support for Xbox Live functionality.
The inclusion of Xbox Live functions in Windows isn't news - in fact, it was one of the first tangible benefits to be announced from the XNA programme, which aims to make cross-platform development across Microsoft's systems as easy as possible.
In other words, it'll be even easier for developers to convert games from PC to Xbox 2. So we may well see a simultaneous release of Doom 4 then....
