Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Windows 10 Coming to Xbox One After PC

Citing a conversation with Windows executive Joe Belfiore, Thurrott that Windows 10 will arrive for those non-PC platforms "according to their own schedules later in 2015."

Microsoft announced back in January that Windows 10 would be integrated into Xbox One by way of a future update. Xbox boss Phil Spencer assured fans at the time that when the Windows 10 Xbox One update arrives, it won't morph the games console into an enterprise-centric device.

How it will operate is unclear, and whether it will come with a dashboard rearrangement is not known.

 

"We won't see people using Excel on the Xbox, but Microsoft is making it easier to port experiences from PC over to Xbox where they make sense," Spencer said at the time.

Xbox One Preview Program members will get to try the new Windows 10 integration first. Spencer said on Twitter earlier this week that Preview Program members will be able to test it out "at least" a month before general availability. Access to the Xbox One Preview Program is available by invitation only.

When the update is applied, Xbox One owners will be able to stream their games to Windows 10 PCs. And the cross-device functionality doesn't stop there; Lionhead's upcoming RPG Fable Legends is coming to both Xbox One and PC, featuring cross-platform play.

Bit of a misleading title, but then again I suppose that the whole idea behind it is misleading. Microsoft shouldn't be calling an OS "Windows 10" when it clearly isn't Windows 10.

The new OS's for Xbox are typically in the Fall. Windows 10 is rumored to launch in the Summer. Maybe they want a few months to handle any new bumps. Any new upgrade always has a few unexpected bumps.

Plus I wonder when the Xbox One will get Cortana!



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Hahaha this means absolutely nothing. Unless they let you install Steam, AMD drivers, and MS Word this means not one damn thing!



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

So its not really windows 10, just an update

Excel on Xbox would be pretty cool! Too bad it's not coming.

Office Online. Works on PS3 and PS4. I have been using it for a while now. Sure it would work even better on the Xbox browsers since it is MS on MS.

I really wish ee would get more productivity apps on consoles and handhelds. As I have moved away from PC and Smartphones completely, I have found way to get everything done on the PS4 and Vita, but local software for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo devices would be quite welcome.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
