Real talk: I have a gaming PC and an Xbone, and if Microsoft was just willing to give me a One running Windows 10 I would jump so hard at that. Get rid of that garbage dash UI and just give me a start screen PLEASE. I'd even settle for Windows 8.
- mikestew 11y agoCompletely unsubstantiated rumor: there was some build of Windows 10 they were going to put on Xbone. MSFT wisely used it for internal employees first. As it was told to me, it was "a fucking disaster". Were I to guess, and that's all it is, it was more a porting problem than getting the UI to work. So maybe they could slap a start screen on there. And I thought substantiated rumors (as in, didn't they put it on the Xbone home screen at some point?) said the "windows 10 experience" was coming to Xbone. Perhaps the internal pilot delayed that. Anyway, take it FWIW, which ain't much because even when knowledgable folks talk, I don't pay much attention (meaning anything above is wrong in some way) because it's mostly none of my business, and I don't care much.
- FussyZeus 11y agoThe last update was the Windows 10 one. It addressed a LOT but it still has a long way to go to be on par with the 360, and the network stack is still extremely hit and miss. Nevertheless, this dash actually works so it does have that over the first one.
- mikestew 11y agohe last update was the Windows 10 one. Ugh. Maybe I should spend less time commenting on HN, and actually paying attention to my "inside sources". Or for that matter, just looking at the dashboard when I boot the machine. I truly didn't notice the update.
