According to reports the next version of Microsoft’s Operating System Windows 8 will allow Xbox 360 games to be played on PCs.

No official word has been given by Microsoft on the subject but apparently you will be able to access your Xbox 360 Dashboard as well as the Xbox Live Marketplace from a PC as well as playing games.

Little else is known about the features at this time however the report says that a seperate fee may be charged by Microsoft for use of the PC service.
