I assume this means we’ll finally see Microsoft’s answer to SteamOS.

I’m particularly interested in the potential of a ‘relatively’ cheap prebuilt gaming PC (assuming Microsoft price aggressively like they do with consoles) that can offer a console-like user experience for the living room environment.

most x360 games can run on one/series, due to porting and the console emulating the x360

they would need to add that to the cloud gaming ability

the handheld will not run windows, xbox consoles never could
the orig xbox was mostly pc components, and could run linux, but that it

you can cloud play xbox games on pc, using browser or xbox app

New Xbox and handheld even if it can run Windows and Steam and whatever (which would be great and they should add) cant just be an actual PC with an Xbox logo on it, it has to run Xbox console games natively, and all of them, every Series X and One game and all the backwards compatible games at the very least. Xbox is actually dead if they try to sell a PC as one, unless they plan to port every single Xbox console exclusive game to PC including 3rd parties, I'd welcome that but obviously that is not going to happen.

If its just a PC and does not dualboot XboxOS, Xbox is dead, and if it does then they should just let any PC run Xbox console games too.

It could be an exclusive feature to help sell Xbox branded PC’s, but judging by their recent tactics they’ll release the update for all Windows systems.

What about console gamers that have a library of game discs?
