And you checked it yesterday?
You got it tonight but it was probably pushed to you yesterday, seeing as how you're the only one to have gotten it today.
This is interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/4n0ol0/uwp_app_installed_on_pc_appeared_on_my_xbox_one/
IF your Xbox is on and signed in while you are downloading a Windows 10 app on your PC, the Win 10 PC app will also be installed to the Xbox.

Out of all the things in this update the one thing that intrigues me the most is the unification of the stores. The possibilities could be megatonic. This is further proof that many dreams might become a reality. Keeping my expectations in check though. ;-)

...lacks reading comprehension.
Why would I want to clutter my precious console space with that? I hope this is optional, I don't like it. I don't have the same apps installed on my three Windows 10 PCs either.
It's also unintended.
I think we can assume that this will be optional and configurable.
Kodi would have to be ported to UWP first but there's little chance of that happening.
Hmmm if I were MS I'd be pushing for it. Kodi on Xbox One could actually sway some people to buy the console. Plus, with software like Plex already available, is Kodi really that much different?

I was like 7,000 and was first wave. Soooo... I guess not?

Yeah - depending on how "curated" the xbox-visible content is, there could be a lot of "Holy shit... NOW I get it" moments. Or it could flop completely, of course ;-)

360 here and nothing
Cool,
But this looks like a bug at the moment.
I read the UWP apps will come "late Summer" and will therefore not be part of this first Summer update.
But would be cool if I am wrong

I don't know if this is really true. Could this be faked on a Windows 10?

No, that is just someone running his Xbox in dev mode. You can do a lot of things that way, but you can't put stuff like this in the store.

I got in last night. Cortana is terrible at the minute and if you can find a known issues log you'll see they're a couple of pages long. Opt out while you can.
You can do it yourself with the steps he posted. You have to be on the latest Windows 10 insider build though, the redstone build which is the same build as the preview Xbox build.

Preview programs have never been this ropey though. And I was in the first version of the new Xbox dash

but I am a sheep
All joking aside Cortona via the headset is pretty cool but not really sure if I would ever use it.

Dunno. But I tried and didn't work for me. They might have updated the store thought, it's snappier and some navigation bugs I had are gone.
Were you in the previous insider for the nxe? It was even rougher. I guess that's why they make this a insider program within the insider program.

If there is talk of pc games working on it then anything else I would say is fair game. Anyhow isnt that part of the point with uwp.

So for example in the Dutch locale (or any other country without native Cortana support) you still cannot choose English voice commands? Does Microsoft think we cannot pronounce "xbox on" or something. Unless I'm wrong this sounds like a load of ass.
Then again, I don't have Kinect and never tried voice commands before, I just heard people complaining about not being able to set voice and even text language to English when your country has been set to the Netherlands, or some other non-English country.
Just wondering now that they have the chance to fix this mishap.

Totally agree, it's super annoying that they still, this far in, haven't fixed this.
Microsoft services are shit in tier 2. Bing is just a cheap Google copy.

....already has game library, Cortana? funny i don't use it on my PC so, nothing important for most people, and Windows 10 apps..hmm let's wait and see if Windows Mobile can hold up for 1 more year, but at the moment it's dying.
Wait Xbox doesn't have a game library?

The best thing about my employer's mobile phone contract is that it moved from Blackberry to Windows last year. Don't make me obsolete so soon!
I know the business arm of Windows Mobile is meant to continue but still

Nope, Sony got that figured out so they can just focus on stability now.
Lol, you opt in to improve. What the hell kind of post is this. Do you know what these preview periods are for ?
And you can play games on PS4. Don't forget that.
You should have a notification in the Notification Tab. Takes you to the setup.
If not, go to Settings -> System -> Cortana.
You have to enable Cortana before you can use it.
