Would be cool but you still can't use it as a normal pc. They should have a desktop feature where you can run normal Windows apps, voila no need for a desktop...

That would be a Baaaad idea. The one thing that makes gaming on Console better than PC = lack of cheaters. If you could run normal Windows apps on Xbox it would open the door for em hackers big time. I just don't like FPS on controller and one thing console really suck at is RTS/RPG.

Now if all console games allowed me to use keyboard and mouse for games I would have bought a MT-ViKI + Xbox instead of a 1080 for my office Set-up. <-- would have worked out cheaper.

They could do a Kiosk mode of sorts that only runs Microsoft Store apps etc.

You can virtualise it or have two separate operating systems running so it has nothing to do with the console os.
 
Looks like some embargo of sorts dropped. There is a tonne of xbox hands-on n my timeline.

Saw that as well, also made a mistake of watching some of them.... now I want a bloody Xbox even more :(

I am really fighting with myself if I want to upgrade now or wait at least 6 months, the more I read/see the more that 6 month self limit is shrinking.

Waaay back when I use to sport a 360 and use to buy games via the online store. So needless to say I just saw that most if not all of those games will be available to play on the new console <-- Its not helping me control myself.

YOLO. I am getting the series S with game pass. I also have a tonne of Xbox 360 games that I would like to play again.
 
I'm really interested to know if last gen titles like Red dead redemption 2 will be able to run 4K @60fps?

It does, or so does the review I saw claim... will see if I can find it again

Edit1: Check back in 2 hours... apparently its home time :D

Edit2: seems like I remember the wrong Rockstar game as they only talk about loading times... https://rockstarintel.com/new-improvements-for-red-dead-redemption-2-gta-iv-on-xbox-series-x

But I am pretty sure it would hit 60 fps?
