Are game companies going to sell two versions of the games...one for streaming via OnLive and one for purchasing to play on a PC??   Since these games will essentially be PC Games, will we be able to buy the games in the stores or at least be able to purchase and download it from the internet and install on our PC's like we do via EBgames and Steam??

This is a great idea, but will the games be available for us with uber powerful computers?? I don't want to play on my T.V. Will I be able to buy the games and install on my PC like I do now, or will I have to stream from the internet" to play?? Not quite sure I understand how this is going to be great for PC gaming. I might be in the minority here, but I actually like that I have a physical copy of the game and can install on my hard drive and play even if i'm not connected to the internet. How will this work for PC gamers???

I've been using Windows 7 beta build 7000 for a week now and I am VERY impressed.  For me it basically combines Vista and Windows XP.  (it looks perty like Vista, but it's fast like Windows XP).

It boots up fast, it's very responsive....file transfers over network are speedy again like in XP, games run the same as XP (I get pretty much the same FPS as in XP which is amazing to me consider this is a beta).  I haven't gotten any blue screens or crashes as of yet.  All the drivers for my system are loaded....my NOD32 antivirus worked without a hitch...most of my apps work (Nero 8, Office, Acrobat).  IE8 seems to work great as well as Firefox 3.

I can't believe I'm running a beta of a new OS and it's running like it is.   It's running 10X better than Vista was when the FINAL RELEASE of Vista came out.  And way better than when XP first came out.  I think Microsoft is going to have a HUGE hit with Windows 7.  Way to go!   FINALLY!!!
