Xbox Family Details:
"When your family member accesses any of your games, they're placed into a special demo mode. This demo mode in most cases would be the full game with a 15-45 minute timer and in some cases an hour. This allowed the person to play the game, get familiar with it then make a purchase if they wanted to."
I still think these are two completely different features. We have conflicting sources. Family sharing is dead. Let it go.
Microsoft denied the rumors after it was cancelled, so we will never know the full details. Microsoft also wanted to avoid questions going as far as cancelling the scheduled E3 media roundtable. Remember the E3 contraversy?
"In a departure from previous years, Microsoft cancelled its annual E3 media roundtable traditionally after its press event. The roundtable typically allows selected members of the press to ask questions of Microsoft executives about the polices and features like the Family Sharing plan. Without the event, the public was left without full details."

@Bolded: Where did you get that blurb from. This was the original Family plan that was posted from MS on their website and I do not remember seeing anythign about 15-45 min demo. http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/license
Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.
