Xbox One

While they might lose ground to the regular consumer market the business market alone will still be enough to keep it on top. It would take some of the heavy hitters to adopt the programs to interact better with IOS/Android and so far not many companies are putting time and money into though platforms.

This is actually the reason why MS doesn't mind people pirating their OS. As long as you use a pirate version at home, you are contributing to a clear choice of OS at your workplace. Now what will happen when the vast majority of employees at a company go over to another OS at home and get used to it? Then there will be a time when the company might conciser switching over to another OS, since the workforce is competent at using the alternative. That would be a major threat to Microsoft's bread and butter, so they would rather you pirate their OS, than use a competitors (something they said themselves). That is the main reason why their DRM protection is deliberately so weak.

The thing is, they are losing their grip on the business market. In terms of business mobile systems, Blackberry have most of that, and the network server market has always been pretty diverse, thanks to Linux.

When it comes to business desktop workstations, it's honestly too soon to tell yet, since there's so much lag between a new product coming out and customers buying it. Businesses don't upgrade to a new OS until it's been out for at least a couple of years, so it's way to early for many to have got Windows 8 yet. But in the light of MS' recent problems, and the increasing security risk of using W8, it does seem highly likely that Windows is going to lose market share there too.

Incidentally, does anybody else think that the Ubuntu mobile OS could be a real hit with business users if they incorporate the necessary security and network controls? Integrating the mobile and desktop computers into one device could be really popular.

To steer this conversation back to the console in question, MS announced a few things about the hardware on hot chips, though i don't understand much of it (I do know what most of the things do, but I won't be able to deduct a performance rating from what is given).

I do wonder about what they're going to use the flash memory for, but it'll probably have lot's of uses. Also I wonder wether the 47MB onSOC memory already include the esRAM

Edit: I had to remind myself to not call it a brick again  I'm getting influenced by the people around me since they all call it brick by now

All trolling aside and random Xbox MS hating. I really like the White version of the Xbox One. I would buy.

Too bad it's limited to employees. I imagine it's not quite as attractive given what it'll cost on the secondary market.

[ThePlaneJet]

I know that sucks. But I would buy it regardless. Just to have it.

Xbox One was almost called Xbox Infinity, Penello confirms

So I guess you can say MS 180'd its name too...

Where would you go from infinity? Infinity +1?

[Gh0st93]

They have done so many 180's it's become a 360....



I just couldn't help myself....

[Xycolian2332]

I honestly can't wait for the Xbone to eat shit.

it will be glorious.

[megido-rev.M]

Indeed.

[Mistgun_Zero]

Well, something nice for Xbox One.

Here's a project spark demo. Really impressive. I think I will try it out if the tools are also available for Windows 8 just for fun. Looking forward to this.

Xbox One is Now in 'Full Production' With an Improved CPU

And by "Improved CPU" They mean the overclocked it and the GPU has been overclocked as well.....

Heat induced failures, Everywhere!

[lololitas]

Hmm... apparently the basic CPU is pretty neat with all those useless AV units (e.g. an audioprocessor[/ur] that allows the kinect to ascertain where a sound comes from)
