9 would have had to be a good version so they're skipping it and releasing trash as ten

they're going to try unifying everything like osx but they're going to completely gently caress it up. how could they not

idk, the first generation kinects weren't compatible with pcs. that's why there was a special windows version. i wouldn't be surprised if the xbone kinects were the same way.

no they're just containerizing the metro poo poo on desktop/laptops so it isn't such a shitpile over there and enterprise actually has a chance in hell of rolling it out
