Xbox Live Exec. Schappert: No Live Anywhere announcements soon - Image 1 


To refresh your memories, Live Anywhere began as an initiative by Microsoft to bring the online gaming and entertainment network to different platforms. These include the original Xbox, Xbox 360, Windows XP/Vista, Windows Mobile, and Zune among others.

This began on the Xbox back in 2002 and the latest installment was for the Zune back in November last year. A couple of years have already passed, however, but the integration process has yet to be completed.

This is what prompted Patrick Klepek of MTV's Multiplayer blog to ask Xbox Live Executive John Schappert about the real score on Live Anywhere. The official replied and sent an email giving the following response:


We continue to make progress against the vision laid out for Live Anywhere and remain committed to building out the network that connects you to your games, your friends and your entertainment in a variety of ways.


The work we have done furthering the Xbox Live experience, including the launch of Games for Window Live as well as integration with XNA and Zune, are examples of the many ways this original vision can come to life.


According to Klepek, Schappert added that while there are no plans to make announcements regarding the service in the near future, Microsoft is keeping Live Anywhere as part of its "overall vision for Xbox Live".
