Why would the PC version support it?   It's pretty meaningless without 
leader boards, Your Stats on display, etc.  Your missing everything about 
Xbox LIVE, and Xbox.com with  Achievements and Gamer points on a PC.  Why 
bother?!?!   It's a whole different market.  There's no set format on doing 
things on a PC as there is on a Console.   MS has control on what needs to 
be done on a game for it to be allowed to be a Xbox, from things like 
supporting HD, to how it connects and works with Xbox LIVE, to Gamer Points 
and achievements.  A whole list of thing to qualify, otherwise the game will 
never be allow onto the system.  MS I guess could support it on it's own 
games, with those running on LIVE for windows, but it's so few, and again, 
who other then yourself would see it?!?!

Well, it IS kind of fun though, to see certain marks of growth of the game 
as I progress.

Do you enjoy posting false info everywhere you go?

Microsoft has certain games that work with a Live client for Windows.

Those games rack up achievements that post to your regular GamerTag.

Halo 2 would be one of those games for instance.

I don't believe Mass Effect does this though.
