1 - Not enough.
Nobody cares. A PC portal without mod support and dedicated server is useless. Plus all their exclusives sucks. Its gonna take more than Gears of War and a few so-so RTS to make anyone care about Live Games for Windows, this service is still hundred of miles behind Steam.

Exactly I buy everything via steam now. My last boxed game was Crysis and I won't be bothering buying boxed again. Basically put if you don't release your games on Steam you don't get my money. I love the digital distribution model that valves offers me and I couldn't give a rats about boxes or cd's.

As you can guess I won't be buying Crysis Warhead unless it is offered on steam, which is unlikely since EA want to push their own distribution client which is a clear rip off (can only download the game for 6 months). So I won't be playing Crysis I guess and we will have to listen to Crytek moaning and whinging about piracy.

So you think being able to resale your games is a disadvantage? :/

I've never re-sold a game of mine in my life. I have all my games up in the attic right back from the ZX81 days. As far as I am aware reselling games is a console habit, I have certainly never come across any PC users that do it. At any rate I wouldn't say it is a deal buster, I like to keep the games I buy because now and again I will revisit old favourites.

For me the problem with downloading games is that it's to easy to spend the money. If I stay with dvds then I have to get off my butt to go get it which takes a lot of effort, believe me!

3 - This is good news
Even if you don't like Games for Windows it's good news for the PC game market. It will make competitors like Steam do even more to keep and promote their product. Competition is always good for the consumer.
