Microsoft's announcement on April 9 that it will integrate Windows Live Messenger into the Xbox 360 got me thinking about what other Windows Live services might be a natural complement to Microsoft's gaming console/service. Might the Softies integrate Windows Live Product Search with Xbox Live? Windows Live Alerts? Microsoft isn't talking,Office 2007 Activation Key (http://www.office2010-key.us/office-2007-key), but Directions on Microsoft analyst Matt Rosoff had an interesting take on what might — and might not be — next. "There's been some integration between Messenger and Xbox Live for several years now,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional (http://www.windows7-key.us/office-2010-key)," Rosoff said. Once Microsoft delivers its May update, "you'be been able to access Messenger buddylists and send one-way text messages (e.g.,Office 2010 (http://www.office2010key.in/), game invitations). And two-way voice chat is an integral feature of Xbox Live. This simply adds two-way text chat between PC and Xbox." Are there more Live integrations in Xbox's future? "Microsoft positions the Xbox primarily a game console, secondarily as a home entertainment device. (The Xbox) is not intended to be an all-in-one Internet access device, or a replacement for the PC. So I don't think they'll add connectivity to too many Windows Live services,Windows 7 Pro Product Key (http://www.office2010-key.us/windows-7-key)," Rosoff said. "For instance,Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise (http://www.office2010key.in/office-2007-key), I don't think they'd get enough extra eyeballs to Live Search to make the integration worthwhile. More likely would be connectivity to MSN's content services — for example, making it easy to watch MSN Video on the console." Any Windows Live services you'd like to see mashed up with Xbox Live?
