Latest rumours suggest it has 3GB ram reserved for the OS, the hell they need 3GB for?  3GB for the OS seems excessive, this could mean 1 thing:  Some form of Windows 8 on the new Xbox. Microsoft is unifying all their products under the Windows roof (pc, tablet, phone). I expect the 720 to run a special version of Windows 8, kinda like the RT.

Indubitably.

I was thinking the same thing

may be a lot but if they do real multitasking this time and a lag-free dashboard etc. they'll need that space (they are Microsoft after all *cough*)

i predict that the sun will rise tomorrow...

I guess that was a certain already... even the 360 uses a custom Windows.

Anyway I think the final specs will use 1.5GB of memory.

From the east or the west?

from where it always did since the beginning of the materialization of our planet.

is there anyone who thinks it will run something other than a specialized version of windows 8?

Yeah, its kinda obvious especially considering that itis a MS console after all. But 3gb?? Damn!
