Microsoft has revealed that the Windows 10 operating system is going to be a part of Xbox One in the future, as a part of their attempt to widen the aspect of sharing applications across devices and platforms.
Nothing in specific was announced, although Xbox boss Phil Spencer mentioned that the games platform would not be compromised by enterprise-centric and desktop-focused applications. It still remains unclear whether it will come with a Dashboard rearrangement or how it will operate?
“We won’t see people using Excel on the Xbox, but Microsoft is making it easier to port experiences from PC over to Xbox where they make sense,” Spencer said.
“We’ll treat gaming on Windows 10 with the same passion as we’ve put into the Xbox console.” Spencer said that we’d get to know more details in March, during the Games Developers Conference. This announcement was made on Wednesday during Microsoft’s Windows 10 press conference in Redmond, Washington.
Along with announcing that the Windows 10 operating system will come to Xbox One, Microsoft also disclosed that Xbox games would go the other way, being streamed to Windows 10 PCs.
During the conference Microsoft also announced that all Windows customers, who own anything from Windows 7 upward can migrate to Windows 10 for free for the first year. This update also applies to Windows Phones.
