"Games for Windows" linked to Xbox live account?

I had heard about this before, that certain PC games prompt you to enter a LIVE account during installation, namely Resident Evil 5 in my case. Does that really work? Does it give you the achievements to your account from playing the PC game?

Yes, I've gotten all the Fallout 3 achievements with my XBL account on my PC.

Nice, that is actually why I asked, cause of Fallout, heh.

I own it for 360, but it is annoying to play on a console imo. Be nice if you didn't need a key for PC when you owned it for 360 but we know that will never happen, lol.

It considers them different games too. I have Fallout 3 and probably 80% of the achievements on the PC. When I compare games to a friend, it compares the xbox version to the xbox version and shows me as having no achievements. So if you're a total whore, you could buy PC games and rent 360 games and get twice the points. You know, if you were crazy and such.
