Microsoft still "committed" to Live Anywhere

According to this, Microsoft hasn't forgotten about Live Anywhere, the mobile app that hooks users into Live. Many were expecting to see it showcased during John Schappert's GDC keynote, but it didn't turn up. Schappert was confirmed the project's still ongoing, though.

“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," he said. "The work we have done furthering the Xbox LIVE experience, including the launch of Games for Windows – LIVE as well as integration with XNA and Zune, are examples of the many ways this original vision can come to life. We look forward to sharing more details on this in the future.”

Live Anywhere was first shown at E3 by Bill Gates in 2006.
