IGN has an interview with Drew Johnston, one of the developers of Games for Windows Live. They also have some pictures of the interface itself.

Over the past year, they have been hard at work ensuring the translation to the Windows Vista platform from Xbox results in an experience that is familiar and new all at once. As we near the release of Halo 2 for Windows Vista (May 8, 2007!!!), the first LIVE-enabled game, we thought it would be a good idea to let the LIVE guys lay out the skinny on the expansion of their service to Windows Vista. We spoke with Drew Johnston, Group Program Manager for the Games for Windows – LIVE team to ask questions that we have heard from many of you out there.

I dont know if that was such a good idea. for the pc it is, if they allow both services to play against eachother its going to take away the level playing field.

Same Controller, Console,

Now you can play against someone with a higher framerate, killernic, and mouse and keyboard. Also I know they'll try to prevent cheating, but its going to happen *sigh* I guess we'll have to wait and see
 
Its a good idea in theory but Xbox live already had enough problems with cheaters, it was limited mostly because not many people had modded xboxs, and you could ban a cheaters xbox so they couldn't get on. I hate cheaters, I have no problem with pc's having better controller (mouse, kb), if matches are ranked then youll get paired with people your level.
 
well, windows cheaters will be subject to the same banning that 360 users face. copies of vista are not cheap! (assuming vista itself doesnt get hacked)

Thats the point its alot easier to hack vista than an xbox, so I bet vista cheaters will find a way around it.
