> however eventually XBox hardware will be a revamped version of Windows Media Center, and that will be as welcomed as XBox ONE original design as multimedia box was. I don't see any indication that they are going down that path. The decisions that made the Xbox One a media center instead of a focus on gaming was made by leaders that are not there. Phil Spensor came in to fix that problem. Nothing they have done recent seems to be pointing in this direction except for doom and gloom speculation about Xbox. > By the way, Dave Cuttler at the end of his interview on Dave's Garage mentions Microsoft is running XBoxes on Azure with Linux for Microsoft's AI purposes, that is how much they care about XBox hardware and cloud gaming. I will have to look this up but that doesn't sound like a bad thing? Hardware having multiple purposes just incentivizes the creation of the hardware in the first place. We see this with how Apple is operating right now.
