    ASUS ROG Ally will be compatible with steam OS. Why isn't there a XBOX competitor to steamOS? I have been wondering about this for a while. It would seem obvious that Microsoft would want to package the XBOX OS (or a version of it) to run on any ARM or X86 machine. Perhaps they are waiting for their handheld to hit the market to do so (if it exists).

    Actually, I believe Microsoft will have to integrate such a system in order to keep up with the upcoming Steam OS. With Steam OS, you pick the hardware and game the way you want to. Oh and don't worry about the cost of Steam OS it'll be free. Of course,
    they will make money off of the games you buy, but that's the big idea anyway.

    MS is doing the same thing w/ Xbox they are doing to MS XP owners....

    [quote user="feihC"]Its still in the majority of homes[/quote]No, it's not. It hasn't been since late 2011. I even linked you to the report where they detail it isn't.



    I even linked you to the latest Steam hardware survey and a survey where it is shown to be a fraction of the OSes that people use for gaming on Steam. You know, Steam, the platform responsible for 75% of game sales on the PC? Games? Those things the 360
    plays, the gaming PC being a competing platform?



    XP has support until 2014. This is normal for MS. OSes do not get continued support forever. Are you next going to complain that you can't run certain 16bit Windows 3.11 apps?
    and businesses.
    Business is not relevant to the consumer space.
    Hahaha!
    Updates will come til the new release.
    They've actually said they plan to continue supporting the 360, or are you calling Microsoft liars when they say they plan to sell another 25 million 360 consoles?

    Valve to make THREE new announcements!

    Steam OS sounds interesting.

    I'm still sticking with Windows though.

    LONG LIVE MICROSOFT!

    Are you sitting on the fence regards Next Gen ?

    @Tzar

    I'm honestly not sure how much simpler I can make this.....

    They are the same thing. Steam Box is a computer, Steam is the OS (currently software but will be the OS). If you are using Steam then you have a Steam Box.

    After Windows 10 reinstall, XBox app reinstalls all games to external drive even though all games already installed on external drive.

    Microsoft went the route of encrypted folders for the games, this is encrypted to that one install of the OS, if you re-install the OS then this breaks the encryption and all games must be downloaded again. steam allows you to access the games folders, Microsoft does not, this is Microsoft version of DRM.
