Well, I do have one for the various games that use it. In my opinion it sucks, just like XBL does (personal opinion). The achievement points I do like but everything else is rather buggy. I have tried to cross-platform play and it does work, but for some reason voice chat doesn't. There may be articles or FAQs on GOOGLE (Yay! Google!) that can solve your problem. I might have a search myself.
Off-topic: If Steam had achievement points I would love them forever. Even though I already do.

You have to own a Games For Windows Live title with a valid CD-Key in order to use GFWl. You launch the game and press Home for the interface and then you can start messaging/talking with your friends on XBox/GFWL. You can only use the interface while inside a Games For Windows Live specific title.
They are selling Shadowrun right now for .99 Cents USD if you want to buy a GFWL title. ( http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/dailydeal/day2/ )

CoD: WaW is Games for Windows title, Not a Games For Windows LIVE title.
Here is a free GFWL title: http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-us/games/pages/tinker.aspx

I loath GFWL; unfortunately, they still insist on putting it in games.
I own DIRT 2 - love the Dirt series, awesome game, except for GFWL. IF you want to play, and want to save your progress, you have to create a GFWL account and be signed in
If no one noticed, GFWL launched their new game buying web-portal, and it looks suspiciously like Steam.
I was looking forward to Fable III on the PC, but it looks like GFWL is going to use that title as the Flagship launch to get their on-line games selling service going - ::sigh:: oh Microsoft, why must you always be the ugly girl at the beach? It seems like your only real purpose is to make other software companies look better

I loath GFWl aswell, it makes backing up your saves a nightmare (even lost 60 hours of GTA4 'cause of it >_<), but their new relaunched site seems to be having some decent deals, unlike Direct 2 Drives deals which are usually all crappy old games. They are selling a game a day for for 99 Cents at the moment, 4 more days left. yesterday it was Shadowrun(Not that good of a game, but not that bad), and today it's Viva Pinata(Lol). But World of Goo is 75% off
