I think he spent $200 on avatar items.
On mobile, so can't search well now.

Technical Preview is out now.
It will be roughly 12 months from now before W10 is released, however.Interesting to see such a big evolution just after launch. NXE 2.0?
Yeah, what the fuck is happening to all the colors?Ps4 blue, steam blue, xbox 1 blue, everything blue. looks better though.

It's out tomorrow. I know I'm installing it to try it out.
I'll probably throw it in a virtual machine first.
With universal apps.... this change will be welcome for me
But what if it comes with screenshot support?
Nope. One OS code for all products.
Yeah, see, that's what I always heard it was supposed to be...a code once, deploy to many if not all-type of initiative. Guess we'll see what happens in the end.
As for avatars, I don't mind them. People love wallpapers and I don't see many railing on them for it, but it would be nice to simply allow users to create their own without being forced to buy into a marketplace of inferior options just to create a another marketplace item to sell. I did spend a few bucks on a Saturn t-shirt for my avvy.
Right, and I could still optionally use a single image I uploaded myself as a single, non-dynamic wallpaper on X360. I'm just saying that I want that as an option still and not to be forced to buy in with X1 if they offer the choice.You answered your own question: Because wallpapers are optional.

Clean start, Windex? Windeze?They probably avoided calling it Windows One because people were gonna call it Windone.
Well, it's technically tomorrow but yeah...technical preview, as in not a finished product.
I thought they were pretty neat. They made the OS feel lively and added a little personality to each friend.Wait, someone liked avatars?
Sweet Jesus.
Wait, does this mean we can publish Windows 8 / Metro apps on the Windows Store and they'll work on Xbox One?
Because, well... That's pretty awesome.
I'm not an Xbox fan, but the unified OS idea is pretty great.
I believe it will depend on the developers side. But I guess it means that more apps will naturally show up on XB1 and every other Windows platform.

Avatars are annoying little things that completely took over the Xbox 360.
I actually thought many of the animations with the props were very well done, and I appreciated that they didn't try to stick to "stylish realism" like Sony attempted (and failed to do so) with Home for a long while, they jumped pretty quickly to "You want to dress like a Big Daddy? Sure, why not?"
I don't know why they never changed the "Default stance" so it wasn't so terrible, though. It must've been hardcoded into too many early prop animations, and they couldn't figure out a way around that.
So they announced a major Xbone UI overhaul over a year in advance?
Wait, someone liked avatars?
Sweet Jesus.
Yeah, what's the deal?Wait, someone liked avatars?
Sweet Jesus.
Technically no.
As a matter of fact that screen with Kinect under it could be a PC with Kinect.
Is that a raspberri Pi hidden down in the corner? (of the OP picture)
So... still, how do you go from 8 - 8.1 - 10?
If I can't use my OS without creating a fucking online account they can keep it.I just want to run windows 10 without having to use your "one store". My "one store" on Windows is the internet browser.
Bonus points if I can skip having to create / use a Microsoft account, like in good old Windows 7.
