Microsoft in my Opinion is treating the xbox platform more as a "windows OS 10" certified Device than really its own platform. 

The Move to Unify their Windows OS with xbox really in my Opinion is more of taking the xbox platform to be pretty much just another device that plays windows OS build games, pretty much the Media Center PC that the Xbox has always been, but Now more than ever moving into that Direction.

exactly. And with MS now buying up patents and technologies for streaming from computer to tv with a thumbdrive...

"Designed for mirroring

But the real difference is that Chromecast is designed for running mobile apps like Netflix on your TV. An ability to mirror your Chrome browser is more of an afterthought.

Miracast (microsofts thumbdrive) was designed first and foremost to mirror what your screen displays, so it serves as a second, wireless monitor."

It also doesn't require wifi. It's like a long range bluetooth with much faster speeds.

And it's only 60$
