Microsoft first revealed its redesigned Xbox One dashboard back at E3 earlier this year, and now the company is announcing that it will arrive on consoles in November. Powered by Windows 10, the new dashboard includes features that focus on speed and performance, and a design that’s a lot more simplified.
Just imagine if the Xbox One had a developer switch, so you could do all sorts of cools tuff with Windows 10 on it.
They would never turn on full Windows 10, because that removes the zero-maintenance appeal of consoles. They won’t even do it as a switch, because you know some little kid is going to turn it on and delete System32 by following troll instructions on the Internet, and then their parents will sue Microsoft.
So it means we’ll see Vulkan on Xbox? Since supposedly Vulkan will be available on Windows 10.
Just imagine you could simply use your PC as an Xbox!
Well, you can use PC as a Steam Machine.
We took away the visual clutter of having your own games up-front, and replaced it all with beautifully designed sponsored content.
one of the things that really annoys me after paying to be able to play online (the free games are usually crap) i then get a load of really ^&$%^& adverts on the dashboard, if i pay the subscription i shouldn’t then see a load of adverts, i don’t get this at all on my PS4.
Eh, that’s already been the case for a while. It’s theoretically possible they have made it better.

Remember all the spying the original XBone was going to do that people complained about so MS turned it off? Well, Windows 10 not only comes with all that turned on by default, but a whole lot more in addition. Given the XBone Dashboard is NOT the standard Windows interface, you won’t be able to turn it off, either. So, all the spying of Windows 10 minus the ability to turn it off, coming soon to an XBone near you!
Do you have any actual proof that you won’t be able to turn the stuff off, or is this just typical FUD?
