I think Microsoft just has more to gain from it than Sony, at the moment. They have the most used OS (though I doubt many people are going to go out and buy Windows just to play these games), and by publishing these games for PC, they still get a piece of the profits. The amount of money they stand to gain by publishing on PC probably outweigh the incentive of purchasing an XB1 that is lost by having the game not be XB1 exclusive, because they probably realise that they won't end up anywhere near PS4's numbers in the end, and probably not the target they had initially aimed for either. So this seems like they're investing in their long term strategy for the Xbox brand as a digital service.

Automatic updates have been gone, you cannot disable them entirely, but you can postpone them indefinetly.

I've been looking around, but I cannot find any info on this. Besides hacks/tricks, the only option I see is to delay them for a set amount of time, based on a schedule you select. Not postpone them indefinitely. So a restart can still happen at an inconvenient time. There are things you cannot simply "save" quickly in the form you want, but instead requires a lot of time to finish. That is how I lost important data before that I'll never be able to get back.

If there really is a way to postpone them indefinitely (until you chopse to shut down the PC) do you have a link to this? Or what exactly is this feature called?

~Edit~
I read now that update version 1511 lets you delay them for 8 months. But it's only for Windows 10 Enterprise, Education and Pro. Not the Home version, which would be the one I would get.


I have Windows 10 Edu, which is the best version strangely
