It would be cool if you could play XBox games on a W7P or on PC Using Windows 8 (vNext). I love the Metro UI, It's more appealing to me than the classic blocky apps... The sharp, crisp, simple design makes it amazing....

Nothing beats using the mouse with FPS!

Skyrim would probably not run on my Netbook, even if it had the necessary OS and stuff. Now, it would be nice to see a fully-fledged portable gaming system produced by Microsoft.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I don't think that you will be able to play an XBox disc on a PC, especially since Windows 8 will be optimized for tablets. At the best, there will probably something like Steam.

As in maybe some select games on W8 that'll be cross platform, but if you can buy and play any game on your PC that you can on your Xbox (720?), then there'd be no point in owning an Xbox.
