Not very soon, but that's just a guess. Marketplace and the Xbox 360 setup
is a controlled environment, and the downloads there are license to the
gamertag/console. That would be a bit difficult to control on PCs.

Maybe you don't have to license to a gamertag, other companies are doing it
(Steam or D2D). Why isn't Microsoft doing it? I think there's a lot of market
in it and Microsoft is loosing it.

Thank you for your answer and best regards
