Would you? This new Xbox UI is clearly made with handheld/mobile computing in mind. Although there does seem to be a "desktop mode" like SteamOS, but it isn't clear so far if you suddenly have full Windows at your disposal of if it's this curated version of Windows.

Not this UI but a Xbox UI. The next Xbox console is going to be a PC-like system either way so I'll wait for that but it would be pretty cool if they bring "Xbox" to all Windows PC too.

I'm still trying to figure out how the next Xbox will be a PC. Primarily because of Play Anywhere. The whole concept of the program is that you get the game on console and PC, and vice versa. If the next Xbox is PC like in nature, then what's the point of Play Anywhere?

I noticed Xbox has changed their showcase wording compared to the past few showcases too.

Before it was "every game shown today will be on Xbox Game Pass"

This time it was "every game shown today will be on Xbox Play Anywhere"

So with this big of a push for Play Anywhere, then there will still have to be a huge differentiator between the Xbox console and PC.
