Sorry but I think you said that because you are angry, WP Os is really good, and I really think the XBO version will be good too, adapted to console users.

So nothing in bkilian's words suggests that the Xbox One can't do it, if the Xbox 360 can?
I was very late to the Windows Media Center thing, and when i got there it 2-3 years ago, it already felt abandoned. Sometimes, if not all the time, Microsoft feels like a octopussy with it's 8 hands having no idea what the others are doing including having no idea if the arm i actually chopped off.
All we need now is Apple showing up with a Console done to perfection
Well I am just going to crawl back into a hole and be pissed about this. The all in one box that only does, errr...wait we are preparing a press release, honest, just wait for it!*
Our dog ate it, and we forgot how to tell you what it does, but it is really, really great!!
/UGH
I used to stream live TV to my Dell Axim, so I thought for sure the new modern WP7 and WP8 would have a MCE app. lol

"Microsoft is a disaster" drumbeat while they rake in about 6 billion dollars a quarter every quarter. And probably their video game division is also more profitable than anybody else's for a while now. Just saying.
Personally I dont really know what media center extender is. Never used it.
There is nothing there that tells me the xbox one cant be a media center extender. Just that thwy would have to do a litle work to get it working

You will notice how the new Xbox One guide is really not much different other than color.
Yes the design philosophy is the same. Or are you saying more than that?
I do wonder if they should've only had tv in, with notifications, and kinect ir blaster, and leave smart guide etc until after launch.
Do media extender/replacement instead, in that order.
Show a mock up and say this is our vision, for after launch. Would give a good vision, but would mean that basic all in one functionality would be there as a whole, where now it is not.
Sure changing order doesn't mean same development resources available etc, but still....
Yes indeed and it turns out I should finish threads before commenting
Big news though. Balmer gone, Nokia bought ... God knows what is next. Stock analysts are going to be buzzing with predictions now since MS won't be the flattest stock around any more.
I'd assume 4 normal controllers + 4 smart glass? So perhaps only still 4 players.
I think the future is "cloud DVR" where you store your recordings in the cloud and stream not just to your DVRs but to mobile devices.
But you have to cut deals with the content owners, who have the leverage, as Time Warner just found out with CBS.
The revolution in the living room that MS is hoping for doesn't come with some new UI but a new way to pay for content. If for instance MS could have packaged an a la carte programming deal, where you only pay for the channels you want and reduce your cable bill in the process, that would have been huge.
Of course, the content owners have no reason to help people reduce their cable bills.

I never thought about the smartglass feature. Does it require direct connect to the console though? I would have thought it would just be on the LAN via wireless, and not talking with wifi direct. I could be wrong on that.
Because there's no reason not to when you have a wireless solution capable of supporting that many devices. just tweak a few system parameters and you enable 8 player FIFA, NFL and Bomberman - 0.0000001% more effort to support 0.001% of you customer base is a very good ROI.

Hey, if they're going for FIFA then they should be doing 11 wireless controllers. Lazy asses.
That'd only work with ether split-screen 11 players (4x3 screens with a map in the bottom corner?) or the whole game in view at once. On a 4k projection it might work.

Illumiroom would be the answer to that.
