I hope in March, the sooner the better. I hope it has Win 8 on it. I wanna use it as a htpc.

I actually wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if MS included a fully functional Windows 8 kernel option.

Want a PC? Want an Xbox? Have both!

Much like the PS3's Linux option, it would not be a system seller, but it would be another backdoor way of MS getting more Windows 8/PC's into living rooms and further progress their plan. The default boot option would be Xbox, but if the option was there to run it as your full Windows PC and access content between the two OS's (Like on Xbox you could play the files you stored on the Windows side and on Windows you could still launch the games or something similar).

Who knows, though. Maybe that is a step too far and they will just use a Win 8 based kernel for the Xbox OS and have a lot of similar functionality, but no direct Win 8 usage.
