GAF, always seeing the full positive potential of everything.
I love, love, love using SkyDrive on the 360. Using a wide variety of photo, video, music, streaming, presentation, social media etc. apps on a TV seems like a good deal to me.
It won't be RT, but it will probably have the limitations of RT. Meaning it'll only run Windows Store apps.

Thought this was teased months ago, when everyone knew it was basically running windows 8....
Why would it be RT? RT was developed to run on ARM based processors? It doesn't make sense that they would rewrite the entire RT OS to run on a x86 platform (kind of defeats the purpose of having both an ARM and x86 version) when they already have a x86 Windows 8 that'll run just fine on the Xbox One (since the processor is x86).
I can't run Windows Phone apps on my Windows 8 desktop. As it stands currently, they're not interchangeable and are two independent app stores.
VideoLAN is still coming, that's all that needs to be said.
Whats Friends With Words under? Phone or 8?
As a Nokia 925 owner this means nothing.
The app store is bare compared to the offering on my android tablet. I'm struggling to think what app I would even put on the xbox.

If this was true, does it make any sense that Microsoft would have completely neglected to mention it for months? Does it make sense that it would be announced as an offhand comment in a Dell product description?
I thought we already knew this was happening?
They told devs at Build to get a headstart by building W8 apps now.
This is probably Miracast.

Why would you want VLC on you XB1 when you can just run the media directly on the console (or stream through the Homegroup, Plex, etc)?
Windows Phone. Most of the worthwhile apps are for Windows Phone.
After a year, the Windows 8 store has been pretty stagnant & frustrating (until the past week, when Facebook finally release their app).
I doubt the Xbox One will have the codec and container support that some of us want (mkv for example). Haven't looked into Plex so not sure how that works.
Laughing at all the "who cares?" posts. It's a great feature to have, lots of useful apps on the store.
Finally. Proper media player for the console?
So what does this mean for indie games? Is Windows 8 well stocked in that regard?
The "headstart" idea was about getting familiar with the development environment, not that the Xbone would run all Windows Store apps without any further process. I remain sceptical, seems to big a feature to hold back this far.
Watch a movie on Netflix, stop and pick up again on your tablet on the airplane.
I just took this screenshot- I'll let it speak for itself:
So how do you use apps optimized for touch or mouse/kb on Xbone?
Plex server automatically transcodes MKV. All you have to do is run the server on your PC and it will automatically show up throughout your network (on your PS3, 360, etc).
But yeah, I doubt the nextgen consoles will natively support MKV.

That's what I'm wondering.

Bingo. You can share all apps that implement Miracast to the X1.
You don't. Apps will likely have to add controller and/or kinect support before they're allowed on the XB1 store.
Surely with more W8 platforms and a larger ecosystem you'll start to see more apps, which would benefit you as a Nokia 925 owner.As a Nokia 925 owner this means nothing.

GR: Oh wow, so if you develop something for Windows 8, if the developer chooses, it can run on Xbox One with almost the same code?
Isogai: Yeah, almost the same code.
