I have a Xbox 360 and a Windows Phone where I am able to keep track of my games and achievements etc. I played a few games with "Games for Windows Live" where I was able to get more achievements. I liked having everything connected to one account. But it looks like it is done for PC gaming.

So is Games for Windows Live basically done? Windows won't even have a DRM in Windows 10 for PC games?

Can we still get Microsoft Achievements through Steam? Or is Microsoft just on the console and smartphone/tablet ?

Not completely. There WERE a lot of rumors it was shutting down but that hasnt happened yet. You can still activate games through it, and many of those games can be activated with steam too. Man, I wish microsoft would make those halo pc ports downloadable so we wouldn't have to buy them on disk.
