I'm not informed enough to dispute that. Things are heading in that direction anyway though with iOS and the OHA.
Question for you, how is independent application distribution on OSX?

I'll sit at the back, not expecting a ton but hope for some Forza on PC. Kind of interested in the OS actually, being a Windows 7 user still.
For the same reason that people wanted remote play?

"PC" can be a lot of things nowadays. And among others, a tablet. Maybe even a phone.
And not all PC are powerful.
I don't think I'd be interested in streaming an Xbox game to my tablet though... maybe TV, but it doesn't seem to be that easy (or it wouldn't be exclusive to the tuner right now).
It's the most realistic want though. As much as some people in this thread seem to want it, it's highly unlikely that Phil Spencer is going to walk onto the stage and say "Hey, you know those xbox brand defining exclusive titles we have? Well, they're not exclusive anymore." Allowing people to use any Windows 10 device to access their Xbox One library of games would be nice.
PC is a subset of Win10 devices. If XBone could stream to any Win10 device, that is pretty cool. Say, that little hdmi dongle that Intel created, for example. But I would even find use in streaming to my PC. I don't own Sunset Overdrive on my PC and if my wife is watching TV I can no longer play Sunset Overdrive. With streaming, I could.

Yeah, I'm not sure I care either. I want the stream to go the other way. Right now due to location, I don't have a good way to get my PC games on my TV. I'd get an Xbox if it allowed that.
Its never too late to join hop on the train! Going to stop posting updates for tonight soon though. So if you want to jump on just keep posting and I will add you to the train.
Throw me on board!!!

To play Xbox games on another TV or monitor without having to buy another system, or repurchase the game for PC. This interests me a whole lot since my Xbox is totally the media center of our living room, so bringing into another room when the TV is occupied is a chore and a half. This would allow me to actually play the games I freaking own and never get more than 15 mins with without having to spend a fortune.
Also, not everyone has a powerful PC.

Because it doesn`t have to be a PC. Tablets and phones are not powerful enough to play most games.
If I can pair my controller to my Surface, that'd be awesome.
Yea, I would like this a lot. Let me be able to buy and stream any game from a new streamlined Windows Store to my Xbox One.

One ticket for the hype train please.
Well the difference is that they have said that having a singular united OS between devices was the plan for quite a long time, although all steps have been somewhat tentative thus far. The difference with Windows 10, is that it is actually based around that concept, so they can't actually back out of it now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfveyXCsiA8

A little late to that party...
Normally I'm supposed to say that MS should simply stay away from PC gaming....But the platform could benefit from their software. Games would still be exclusive to their Windows ecosystem (or Xbox on Windows since they want to bring Xbox to PC).
I don't give a **** about Halo or Sunset on PC but I know many who do.

I would like a ticket for the hype train please.
it's bad. i have a friend who used to write for OS X and linux and has basically given up on OS X because she doesn't want to get on the app store and going outside is a huge pain for development, not to mention the end user.
Azure is one of Microsoft's most important businesses, you should expect talks about the cloud. Especially at a Windows event due to OneDrive, Cortana, etc.
Just because one system in the market does something does not mean everyone must do that thing. Even if major companies adopt that practice, that does not mean other companies must, nor that consumers should be complacent in accepting that change.
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
If consumers allow companies to close the market, segment it, and exploit them, then that is as much the consumer's fault as theirs. One tool is education. Another is consumer action, either distributing software themselves, or supporting the companies that meet their needs.
Further, the closed nature of smartphone hardware contributes to being able to lock down that part of the market. It is why open hardware standards, such as PC, should continue to be supported, as they keep the market honest, and push innovations.
The massive backlash against Window 8 and its proposition to close off applications that were not Microsoft approved, as illustrated by Valve's hesitation at that prospect, should have been enough to keep Microsoft from attempting to do so again. If they try to do so again, I hope there will be just as much backlash.

Might as well. Not normally into these bit what the hell.Its never too late to join hop on the train! Going to stop posting updates for tonight soon though. So if you want to jump on just keep posting and I will add you to the train.
So it's basically going to be just Dark Souls 2 with DirectX12 patched in ,exclusive on Windows 10, mark my words gentlemen and prepare for disappointment.
Alright People I am all caught up. Anyone else like a seat on this beautiful Hype Train?
Mhee not sure, wasn't because of Arma 3 I would've wipe the Windows partition out of my system. I've been mostly using Linux, because of work and because well its just better, Most games I truly care about are on linunx these days which is awesome news.
MS really need to bring something especial with this one

Wouldn't that be the point? If it happens it should have been obvious to anyone since Windows 8 was announced.
Can I have a seat on the doom train?

sure why not
As much as they pretend they get "desktop" with windows 10, it is clear they closing that platform into a wallet garden.
Personally I don't worry much, I do most of my dev time on linux, most of the games I care about are fine and dandy running under ubuntu.
so yeah, thanks gaben.
Let's see what they have to offer. I'll be upgrading to 10 anyway

Add me to the train! I have great hopes for Windows 10!
The concern is Microsoft trying to manipulate an ecosystem they have shown themselves to not completely understand (GFWL), and potential set back the companies that have formed their own services and distribution on the platform. Sure you can be optimistic about it, but I find myself to be pretty sceptical.
