Recently, Windows Gaming boss Dean Lester revealed that, "Xbox 2 peripherals will all work on
PC". This means you'll be able to use the Xbox 2 controller with your PC (most likely via USB), and is the latest bit
of evidence of Microsoft's effort to draw the Xbox and PC closer together. We've already known about the XNA program
that will simplify cross-platform development and also enable Xbox Live on PC (with the next version of Windows,
codenamed "Longhorn"). This form of standardization will likely draw a large following and could mean big things for
the growing online component of console gaming. Exciting news indeed, we'll keep you updated as more details
emerge.
