what are you asking N?
XBOX
Doesn’t everyone know a new Xbox is coming out eventually.
Did he just confirm the new Xbox is coming?! Nice to hear the official word.
I think MS is really taking a step forward, and they are coating it nicely with a perfect new User Interface. I LOVE the metro interface, it is so clean and not distracting at all. But I really fear it is just not good what they are doing with Windows 8 on PC, it feels like they are limiting the features, and that is not the right way for PC IMHO.
@facebook email addresses have never synced out of facebook in my experience.. Certai
@jrbrewin Certainly not with microsofts integration with the service
There’s no new Xbox. Just the update. The new Xbox is next year. Chill people.
Well, if it was just a software update, he would have said new xbox software or new update for the xbox. Not “New Xbox”. I don’t think it is coming out this year. Maybe early next year or sometime next year. Or maybe even the year after that, but I think they should announce it early next year, and release it in the fall.
He confirms that the new xbox is coming out next year alongside Windows 8
i cant believe they didnt caught that
new console already? didnt they came out just ~7 years -.-
Trains
i looked at outlook com it doesn’t look that bad. Plus new Xbox is going to be AMAZING
I think he is most likely referring to the next dashboard. Because the next DB is scheduled to come out around the same time as Windows 8. And due to IE being on the fall DB it is more than likely to see Skype and Outlook integration. Because if you recall the month the current DB came out, they confirmed skype was coming out.
BRING IT !
I sure hope the new Xbox has much more exclusives this time around. Microsofts console was the worst this gen. And last gen.
Dude getting tanked at 5.45
I Agree
Along with surface and windows phone 8
yeah, some guys from the verge use the macbock air, and some use the macbook pro
I bet the next xbox system will still be a gimmick console. Like more BS kinect crap.
I heard a whole lot of “we (MS) are consolidating and strengthening our primary mail service, outlook. Also we would like to start marketing it like what apple and google/chrome have and join the interconnected environment computing age. We’ve caught up but now have a more refined individual productd, namely email since it’s the primary mode of electronic communication.
CHAMP CHONG. <3
Re you sure he dis’nt mean the ” New Xbox experience” with Internet explorer and other kinect shit?
Windows 8 is going to kill Microsoft really
new xbox (L)
lol was the Corona really necessary?
The biggest news ( besides this extra-non-relevant consumers information ) is the fact, that we´re running out of ice globally. So who cares about more interactive pixels on a tv screen ?
I FUC&ING HATE OUTLOOK…AND TODAY YOU HAVE ADDED INSULT TO THE INJURY OF THE SHITT LOOK OF ‘OUT-LOOK’.… YOU HAVE NOW UNLINKED EMAIL ACCOUNTS.…BECAUSE YOU CANT FIX A SECURITY ISSUE.…MORONS
