Don't see why not. I could repogram a Twilio version from the ground up, if you want me to.

The technical answer: YES ABSOLUTE.

The real world answer: Maybe somehow... but it probably won't work.

Navarr - I don't have my own website or blog. Is it possible to embed the audio only play/pause button somehow within an e-mail message?

looks like version 2 of the playlist player is broken

also, it seems that it doesn't run in the -nocookie domain

do you think it will be possible to tweak the version 3?

Re: Why Steam on Windows 7 Disappoints Me

Navarr Barnier — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 18:05:09 -0000

The one part of you argument that's lacking is that any game service provider can integrate into Games Explorer for free, I do believe. (Or at the minimum the cost to sign code for Windows).

Games Explorer was supposed to be a central place on Windows 7 for ALL games and game providers on the system. Steam, Games for Windows, any other company that wants to.

Sure, the Games for Windows icon would be sitting there, just like the "More Games from Microsoft" icon does, and just like Steam could and any other provider could.

Why Steam pulled their integration if they had it doesn't make sense to me, and is not something I can know. I wish they hadn't, as if they really had all those wonderful Windows 7 features it would've looked and worked great.

BTW, Games for Windows is simply Microsoft's store for publishers that like to do Windows Live/Xbox Live integration and that like to pay Microsoft that extra bit of cash for the "Games for Windows" icon that used to be on some software boxes - you know, before digital became the big hit and it stopped mattering.

Steam was a games provider on Windows 7 during the early release phase of Windows 7; complete with jump lists and self creating icons, the integration was seamless and beautiful and I must say, a joy to see integrated so nicely into my new operating system.
"Finally", I thought to myself, "They did it!"; It even a live feed like you mentioned above.

From what I've heard Microsoft and Steam both disagreed in the later stages of development and took it down due to contractual issues between the two companies. Steam didn't want its user base surfing Games for Windows, and Microsoft was asking too much for early integration into their useless explorer. I mean lets face it, games explorer without Steam integration is useless and an insult to better judgement.

I wonder what they even offer in Games For windows... Do i have to buy Minesweeper now?

Microsoft wanted free bank for Steam being able to integrate into the Games explorer and at the same time, thought it could sleaze ball its way into free sales by giving Steam users another game provider to browse while customizing their Steam games.

After the deal fell through and Steam realized it would have been a grave mistake giving their customers an option to choose other game providers, the deal fell apart and Microsoft fell back on glimmering hopes that their Games for Windows would somehow one day miraculously compare to their powerhouse counterpart.

They pushed steam out during the first few update phases of Windows 7, and its unfortunate, but to say it was never integrated is a common misconception.

If you had a stake in Steam you wouldn't want another over-night game providers icon sitting next to your masterpiece would you?

Steam is a service that took decades of trail and error to hone and millions upon millions of dollars to develop; Games for Windows on the other hand showed up to the party as a mutated version of XBOX Live, and basically became available overnight.

I'm willing to bet millions of Steam users would be first in line if Valve ever decided to release its own gamer-optimized operating system as well.

So to conclude, Steam had and still has the integration all worked for Windows because I've seen it work flawlessly on my very own PC. Microsoft either humped Steam out of a spot on the Windows "Game Providers" list, or Steam pulled once they realized the fancy little trick Microsoft was trying to pull

"Game Provider" is what is should read to date.

STEAM® FTW

Hey Navarr,
I know you set this up awhile ago, but I just discovered it and love it, and wanted to say thanks! Thanks! I love my GV, but I love it even more now that I can send SMS messages straight from Outlook 2010 through my GV account--FOR FREE! Put a "donate" or "Chip In" link on here and I'd gladly share my appreciation. Keep up the great work! I think you've got some great ideas.
