Put me on this train please.
 
No worries my friend

I just want to make something clear. I am only working on the Hype Train. I am not sure if imax is really working on the other train at all. Seeing as he is on the Hype Train and all.

That's okay, us apprehensive ones will march on foot if need be!

Great men walk along side of you sir.

Count me in as well good sir!
 
I want:

Ports of every released X1 exclusive to PC.
Every X1 game released simultaneously on PC going forward.
Every game cross-buy enabled between X1 and PC.
Cross-play between the X1 and PC versions of any game that has online features.
Local streaming from any Windows 10 device to any Windows 10 device.
Internet streaming (Online/Gaikai) of any game to any Windows 10 device.
"Virtual console" type service with releases of old Xbox and Xbox 360 games to buy, also cross-buy.
X1 controller wireless dongle for PC.

I'm not setting myself for disappointment or anything.
 

Don't have an avatar, but I would join in spirit even though I think...

I feel like this one sums up my feelings better, but it probably isn't as nicely set up for applying avatars:

this could be the end result.

Edit:
Sorry misread your post.

However I cannot imagine the next version of Windows will be a train wreck.

As an operating system? No, I think it's probably going to be pretty good. For those of us PC gamers who have seen all the promises Microsoft made and abandoned time and again? Sure.

Microsoft tried to gouge PC gamers with GFWL and pay for online fees, but it wasn't accepted. They fled to the XBOX. Over time they constantly have made promises that they finally care about PC gaming. They never kept their side of the bargain and thus lost the trust of some PC Gamers. Do you really think it would be that simple for Microsoft to win the trust back?

I will believe it when I see it.
 
Certainly possible. Similar situation to Ryse and Dead Rising 3. Developer owns the IP rights, Microsoft just picked up the publishing aspect.



Surface Pro mini could be interesting.

Intel Cherry Trail Surface Mini would be cool instead an ARM one.
 
Wouldn't it be wonderful if they made Windows 10 a free upgrade for everyone? I'm talking XP, 7, 8, 8.1 -> 10 for free.

It would mean huge and immediate impact and its marketplace will have real weight and meaning at launch. Such a strategy could bag them a fortune... but potentially set an unwanted precedent.
 
Put me on the hype train, please!

For the technically minded people-

Is there any possibility of being able to stream digital Xbox 360 games or at least XBLA games on Windows X (sort of like PS Now)?

I only ask because I have a MASSIVE digital library on Xbox Live.
 
This seems like a real turning point for Microsoft

They have a lot of great stuff going on they're finally seeing the benefits of the messy move to a unified platform
 
Well Ryse got an outing and I know that Forza 5 works on PC but hasn't been released so you never know.

That would be strange though. I mean, Insomniac are not known for their PC interest unlike Crapcom and Crytek.
It's a game which, even though I'm not interested in, would benefit tremendously from 60fps.

I hope it happens for those who would like to play this game on PC.
 
Sunset or Halo are too recent to be ported, it would hurt the console pretty badly. Killer Instinct is more realistic.

As for Halo... After the past five or so years of quality dropping combined with Halo's rapidly shrinking relevance in the FPS genre, something tells me that MCC on PC will put about as much dent into the Xbox brand as CoD being available on other platforms does. Halo's not a console-seller anymore - CoD co-marketing deals are.

Oh, BTW, throw me on dat PC Master Race train.
