Microsoft continues to push its revitalisation of PC gaming with the announcement that its popular Live service will launch on Windows Vista this summer.

Already the cornerstone of the Xbox 360's online gaming service, Live on Windows will include many similar features, such as Friends lists, and was demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show with Xbox 360 controllers on a Vista-running laptop.

"Windows Vista marks the biggest investment from Microsoft around Windows games since Windows 95, making games easier, safer and more fun to play on the PC," said Microsoft boss Bill Gates, as part of his CES keynote in Las Vegas.
