Xbox One Architecture Finally Explained - Runs OS 'Virtually Indistinguishable' from Windows 8

Interesting read !!!



While Motorola piles the pressure on Microsoft in regards to the patent issue Apple is now backing the Xbox 360 along with a growing list of other companies. Motorola wishes to ban the imports of the Xbox 360 in the US because they suggest it’s in violation
of five telecommunications patents that they currently own.

A decision was already made by the ITC back in April to ban the 4GB and 250GB versions, but an overall decision is expected soon. The commission will have a tough time coming up with the right decision because not only is the iPhone maker offering their
support but also Activision Blizzard, Cisco, HP, Intel and Nokia.

---------



Apple got one of their attorneys to contact the ITC asking that they consider a few more facts in regards to this Motorola patent issue, because they believe that Motorola have been ignoring some of those terms, which is explained in greater detail here.

There’s talk that because this is a trial other companies should not get involved, but when you think that if the outcome went against Microsoft then this could become an issue for Apple as well. It’s been said that Motorola had walked on Microsoft patents
as well but the Xbox 360 maker did not take it to court, so if this is true should this case be settled out of court?

We have to remember that patents were introduced to protect the inventor along with their rights, but it now seems as though it’s used for something totally different, maybe it’s about time things changed because to some these laws seem a little out of date.

 

Real interesting read

I preordered both but not interested in launch titles I've seen from sony

 

Very interesting indeed. So my dream of getting resizable app tiles is actually quite likely. Thanks for posting HOG.

 

Cheers Hog, I posted it over on the main XB1 forum.

Goes way over my head lol but sounds good ;-)

 

Just see someone mention that it could be where Xbox One gets some of the games for "Games for Gold" ??

 

Its likely. I mean it makes sense at least for a starter. There are plenty of titles to use if they look at the Win8 store. Course, free is free and I wont grind my teeth if it happens
