MS is getting exactly where I want them to be in a way that suites my hopes and needs better than the competition such as apple or google which are the true MS competition. MS is clearly getting ready for the next step in computing technology I can't wait for them to take over my home central AI :D can't wait to talk to cortana in my kitchen :D |
The Xbox One is not a Windows Media Center Extender. Marc Whitten mentioned that in one of his IGN Q&As. There is no word whether the Xbox One will stream from the PC using the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service however. So at this time that remains a possibility.
Also there is no word whether or not the Xbox One will support software like XBMC yet.
