Xbox One Going Windows 10, Getting Background Music

Given Microsoft’s strategy to deploy Windows 10 across all computing devices, including computers and smartphones, I guess it’s not entirely surprising they intend to similarly unify the Xbox One onto the platform later this year. Whether or not this translates into a less crazy user interface remains to be seen, but it does seem highly likely that background music streaming will be one compelling benefit of migrating to the new operating system. It’s a feature I’m surprised we haven’t seen more – and something I periodically have appreciated from the WDTV Play and Amazon Fire TV.

Speaking of appreciation, I’ve been using Windows 10 as my primary desktop OS these last few months, and I quite like what I see (despite that power button relocating with every build). In fact, I even migrated my wife’s laptop from Win 8 to the beta channel of Win 10 – as the massive UI improvements outweigh the (expected) pre-release bugs and issues.
