Poll: Do you like or use Games for Windows - Live?

I've used it on quite a few games, on about half of those I didn't notice it, which presumably means it was working properly. Can't say I found it to be any use at all. On other occasions it has prevented me playing a game entirely, either through crashing or failing to log me in.

I try and avoid it if at all possible, it's a liability that is supposed to do some useful things but actually just adds a layer of failure over a game.

Yay! Double post. I'm blaming the terms of service update and captcha.

Do not like, do not use, it is the sum of all what not to do when making these things

Used it for GOW.

It was one extra little chore to go through to get into a game, not a big chore by any means, but it provided me no benefit at all.
It's like when I buy a ham-salad sandwich from a shop - I have to take the cucumber out first, it's not a real problem, but I'd rather buy a sandwich without the cucumber in at all.

I hate it pretty bad.
Ironically, I also used it in Chaos Rising and it was an endless source of trouble. For instance I couldn't join a game with my European friend unless i logged out then logged back in then sent a request to join twice in a row.
