I’m sure they will have ads in the Xbox launcher because why wouldn’t Microsoft.

But it does look like it essentially kills all the graphical and backend items of windows for single loading this UI from the videos, and then boots up the extra items when requested for the full OS.
I would actually be worried it won’t properly kill them swapping back and then you lose the gains until a reboot.

I really want this to be a low margin device they sell meant to boost gamepads subscriptions and it ends up being easy to modify or control cause I would literally reward them with the subscription for that.
If only they can resist being Microsoft.

My problem with steam is is trying to run anything that isn’t steam without having to go fully into the Linux OS with a keyboard attached.

That and the whole super drained battery from having to be on to update any games thing.

They used to lower the price of Xboxes/?Xbeexes? lower than actual profit margins because they could get more in game sales.

I think the finances are no longer there though to do that but I think it would inspire people to get the game pass more if they did.

I’m so hoping Microsoft eats some of the cost of this and makes it a reasonable price. Think of the awesomeness of $600-700 handheld console that can be much more easily modded than the switch 2.

FM radio when you wanted it, big color screen that you could watch actual videos on at a solid playback that you could do video out to a TV with. WiFi song sharing. Great playback and no fingerprints in my semitransparent case that glows.

Zune was amazing.

"Its happening to you, not them, is the motto of so many people who prefer waiting to get their own face eaten.
