Microsoft is fully committed to PC gaming with Windows 10, according to Phil Spencer. The Head of Xbox admitted that while the company hasn't been particularly invested in Windows as a gaming platform in recent years, PC gamers can expect to see a major push from Microsoft from here on out. The key difference now is that the Xbox team is driving the Windows and console gaming efforts as one connected ecosystem. Just yesterday, Spencer confirmed Microsoft will have a presence at this year's PC Gaming Show at E3. Windows 10 comes to PC on July 29.
