[gameprogrammer] Re: xna and game maker

Was reading the FAQ on XNA the other night.  Can you clarify what may be a 
misconception of mine?  It appears that if you want to write for the PC the 
only way to share it is distribute the source via, I believe, XBox Live.  Is 
there a way to package the game if you wish to go commercial with it?  Are 
there fees to Microsoft involved?

Thanks,
Lilith
