Microsoft has had a checkered past when it comes to supporting one of its most valuable communities. PC gamers are part of the reason that Microsoft is still doing as well as it is in the desktop market, but the most the company has had to offer in recent years came in the form of the abysmal Games for Windows Live platform, which did far more harm than good. Most gamers have lost faith that Microsoft will ever do anything worthwhile for PC gaming, but with the release of Windows 10 around the corner, the company has a chance to change that perception.

The head of Microsoft’s Xbox division will be at the company’s Windows 10 event next month, but he’s not going to be there to talk about gaming consoles. When it was revealed that Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox division, will be at the company’s Jan. 21 event for Windows 10, the logical conclusion was that he’d be there to talk about what the operating system will look like on Xbox One. Windows 10 will indeed be coming to Xbox One in some form, as it will run across a variety of device types, but Spencer will be at the event to talk about computer gaming, an area Microsoft hasn’t focused on in recent years. In response to a user who asked him if footage will be shown of the Windows 10 interface overhaul on Xbox One, Spencer tweeted that “it’s time for us to talk about gaming on Windows,” referring to the computer version of the operating system.
