Another GDC tidbit -
Apparently if you are already an XBOX Live (paid) member it carries over, but otherwise expect to shell out in order to get ... um ... 'achievements'?
Another note:
My thought - NO!
Microsoft finally, finally revealed just how much they're going to be charging for the Games for Windows Live and despite popular speculation (and hope), it's no where near free. In fact, the model rings in at the same price as a yearly subscription to an Xbox 360 membership: $49.99 a year ($7.99 a month, $19.99 for three months) for Gold, while Silver, as it is on Xbox, is free.

Another note:
With Live working as a matchmaking service and not hosting games (that's actually what you're doing), is it fair for Microsoft to expect PC owners to pay the same for the Live experience?
