Be interesting to see how many of the XBL features are XBone "exclusives". But I'd be more interested to see if W10 can improve system stability. Window has never given me that "reliable" feeling that I get off of a decent Linux setup.
Keyboard and mouse support for the XBone is vaguely interesting, but what I'd want to see is (a) some trade-in deal for XB360 and (b) greatly increased XB360 title support. As it is, if I was looking for a current gen console then it's only the lousy controller that would steer me away from PS4.
Streaming from your XB1 to your PC?
/facepalm
To put this in perspective it would be interesting to know how many PlayStation TV devices are, like my son's, connected to PC monitors?Quote:

Isn't it a little ironic (is that the right word?) that Microsoft (arguably) turned their back on gaming on a PC when they first entered the console market, and now over a decade later, when both Windows 8.x and the XBone have had less than a favorable reception, that their now lauding the advantages of combining the two platforms.
If your PC is a Surface tablet sitting in the kitchen.. sounds great to me.Quote:

Windows has been pretty bullet proof for me since XP (I avoided vista and 8) in regards to stability. A trade in program from MSoft on your 360, why would they when you can trade it/sell it yourself?Quote:

Sure, I don't want there to be such exclusives...Quote:

I can see myself using this on more than one occasion.
Some people might benefit from it but surely the most gains would come from the reverse?Quote:

Apart from fighting over a TV screen, the only time I see this of any real benefit is on exclusives that they refuse to release on PC. Personally, I'd rather not buy those exclusives to give them more reason to release a "proper" version.
So, umm ... when are we getting HALO 3 & 4 on PC ?
The path to paid for online gaming on PC has been opened. Eventually no longer will it just be mmos that you pay to play, they will have gold features on PC then limit playing online to the paying.
