shacknews.com — Shacknews has learned from reputable sources who wish to remain nameless that Microsoft plans to introduce what seems to be a Windows gaming service called "Panorama." Apparently, Panorama will be a part of Windows Vista and will act essentially as Xbox Live Arcade for Windows.

Why is this even cool or getting digged? People are going nuts over arcade games that have been available online forever! Who cares...

This is going to be GREAT! Hopefully they also include the Achievements like Xbox Live has. I look forward to playing Frogger, Castlevania, Joust, Gauntlet and Marble Blast Ultra on my PC!

Personally I have been hoping someone would standardize pc games for a long time. You spend a lot of time tweaking settings and looking for patches when you are a pc gamer. It would be nice to just put your game in and have it run without having to be McGuyver with the different controllers, display settings and on an on. The prospect of such a large user base across both PC’s and Consoles sounds very interesting.
