Microsoft has already hinted strongly that apps made for Windows 8 will be able to run on its upcoming Xbox One game console. However, the company has done nothing more than just hint at this kind of feature and has never talked about how app developers could get their creations published on the Xbox One. Now a pre-order page for the console on Dell's online store seems to confirm that Windows 8 apps will be able to run on the next-gen game machine.
Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

GB: "After its disastrous launch all those years ago, many players are rediscovering Fallout 76 and how much it's improved."
They showed this feature off a few months ago. It's just Miracast.
This is very interesting if it turns out to be true. The Xbox One is, after all sporting a system specific version of Windows 8. Someone could, hypothetically, use the Xbox as their PC and console. I do question whether apps would still run better on a dedicated PC though. Most people are expecting that most of the systems resources will be dedicated to games.
Why wouldn't they tout this as a feature? I'm sure they'll give it full support in the future, if they do enable it.
I'd like to see more stuff on the Windows 8 store, myself. So, maybe this will help developer support.
Apps like Word and Powerpoint could be cool. 12yo kids will work on their homeworks instead of playing CoD :P
