Live Anywhere — Microsoft's sort of hazy initiative to expand Live features to PCs and Mobile Platforms — hasn't really gotten much press since E3... and barely even then. Ozymandias of Team Xbox thinks that's because "this is one of those things that's bigger than people can easily wrap their heads around." Right! Like the implications of time travel or what happens to you after you die.

Anyway, he's updated his personal blog, enthusiastically gushing about some of the stuff you'll be able to do in Live Anywhere. He describes being able to purchase Zuma on the 360, then downloading a cell phone version and trying to beat your score, or send challenges to other friends.

Obviously, Ozymandias is pretty excited about it, and it does sound cool. But we're remaining a bit skeptical until we can see it in action. Call us crazy, but it all sounds pretty complicated, and while we're sure that you'll be able to download Zuma wherever, our instinct is that if this is badly handled, the exceptions to the cool new features Ozymandias is talking about will outweigh the rule.
