Xbox One will run Windows 8 apps according to website listing – report
The Xbox One website listing and description on Dell.com has a part that mentions Windows 8.
The descriptor reads, “Consider the game officially changed. With all your favourite Windows 8 apps able to be run on and synced to your Xbox One, now your phone, desktop, tablet and TV can all give you a unified web and entertainment experience.”
The initial rumour was started way back in April, before the console’s reveal. It suggested that Xbox One’s operating system will share some similarities with Windows 8 and would allow you to use your Windows 8 apps on it.
Microsoft did confirm that the console will be running multiple OS’s at the same time, one of which will be based on Windows 8. Though the firm mentioned nothing about Windows 8 apps specifically.
Would this be a game changer in the next-gen console war? Let us know what you think below.

KnifelyDone I can't wait, looking forward to both this and the PS4, both look interesting!
They both look like interesting consoles indeed. I have to say that the Xbox One seems to be leading in innovation though

Dominating I personally don`t like windows 8.
I'm not a big fan of windows 8 either. I think it more suits touch screen devices then anything else
