Why was Burnout Paradise for PC not made a Games for Windows LIVE title?  I'm a Big LIVE fan but don't have any LIVE games for the PC,  and I think that Burnout Paradise would have a been a geat pick for the GFW LIVE catalog.

PS3 seems to be CG's platform of choice so I guess they simply did not want to support Microsoft more than necessary since Live games is run by microsoft. Or maybe because EA already has the required infrastructure in place to download and buy the games?

The only reason Microsoft created the Games for Windows Live program was to make online computer gaming cost money, outside of MMOs.  When they realized that PC gamers were never going to give in, Microsoft removed the fee.  Only downside is that we probably won't be getting many more Achievements from PC games anymore...
