There are a lot of reasons that this makes sense for them. But also, given the other things they've been promising, I think this is going to be an expensive piece of hardware that basically just hides Windows under the hood.

I mean, the current Xbox is already hiding Windows under the hood. Always has, hence the original project name „DirectX Box“ ;)

You can't run a Windows executable on an Xbox as things stand. That's the difference that a lot of us are expecting to go away.

You can run UWP executables! If you publish to the MS store, distribution on Xbox is automatic unless you opt-out. But you’re right that you can’t run an arbitrary exe.
