MS will launch a PC version of Xbox LIVE Arcade

Xbox LIVE Arcade is brilliant and one of the best features of the Xbox 360.

Most of the games on Xbox LIVE Arcade originated on PC anyway, so surely it makes sense. If we could somehow get away with buying one copy and have it playable on both PC and Xbox 360 when playing with the same gamertag, all the better.
