    xbox one/windows 8 combined


    Hello, does anyone find themselves wanting to use their Xbox one in the same fashion they would use their PC, as far as simple task are concerned? I would love to see some of the same apps ported from the windows 8 environment to my Xbox, specifically mail
    and bing apps, such as news, sports, food and fitness. Does anyone know if this is where things are headed? Right now it feels like Microsoft is getting closer to uniting platforms, but not quite there. I just see so much cross platform potential, just waiting
    for it to happen. Thoughts?

    :)

    Sounds quite interesting! Even better if you have Windows 8 & a Windows Phone.

    Updated post with Windows 8 link.

    The Win 8 version looks a lot like the Xbox One dash.

    They probably will add those apps if enough people request them.

    How would windows 10 effect the One? From a computer standpoint, the thing is a god send and combines all the good things from windows 7 and 8

    import itunes playlist into xbox music

    Hey J3di Mindtrick2,



    We just tried a few combinations between Desktop app, Windows Phone 8 App, and a Windows Phone 8 here. What we found was that you can move the files from a playlist from the phone to your PC, but they will not be in a playlist any longer.



    We were able to do that using the Windows Phone 8 app for Windows 8.



    Doesn't look like it has the specific functionality that you are asking about, at this time.

    So I take it....Avatars are gone.

    They are here on Windows 8, they are on Windows Phone 8, I see no reason why they won't be on the Xbox One.
