Seriously. This software is just...annoying. I dislike having to either log in or try to make the Games for Windows Live overlay go away when I'm trying to play a game like Fallout 3 or GTA IV. I'm already playing it in Steam (which I can tolerate because Valve has some idea of how not to make stuff intrusive), I don't want yet another (totally unncessary) piece of software slowing down the time between me wanting to play a game and me getting to play it.
The other thing I hate about Windows Live is Hotmail. Some time ago I (foolishly) used my Windows Live email as the email attached to my Battle.net account...This led to me losing control of that account since Hotmail is apparently ridiculously easy to hack.
It also means that people on my MSN Messenger contacts list gets to get fucked up spam from me, and my hotmail apparently being used to send out spam to other unsuspecting people.
I really don't see how Microsoft can defend software that is either needlessly intrusive (Why force it on us when we're already in Steam?) or downright dangerous to our online presence.
I'm looking forward to getting an answer to the ridiculously unsafe Hotmail (I tagged along on another person's complaint to Windows on why spam keeps being sent from our emails), and hope that it'll either lead to some sort of solution, or being allowed to use my safe (Non-Microsoft) email for my Xbox Live account.
