I'm not guaranteeing it will be but if you look at Shadowrun which is the first game that allows 360 players to play PC gamers online. in-order to do so on the PC you must have Vista and pay for Live.

I find that annoying because I was so interested in Shadowrun, but now I can't be bothered. The way I see it to get the game it would cost me £26 for the game, £10 for Live and about £70 for Vista. That's about £100 (or near $190), far as I'm concerned that’s way too much cash for one game that I may not even like when it comes down to it.

If Huxley is going to allow 360 gamers to play PC, I'm praying to god they don't do the same as Shadowrun. I'm not saying they will lose sales but they will either force a lot of us to change OS or put off a lot of people who would have bought it come release. Just so you know I don't have an issue with Vista bar the fact I'd need to buy it and there is still many issues with it thats perfectly fine with XP so I will wait till I have to buy it.
