Beta for Windows 10 on Xbox One should be out apparently a little while after the full release for PC and other hardware. How different do you think it will be for the Xbox One? Do you think it will be a large improvement? 

I think this could be a good upgrade to help get Xbox back in the market if they bring along some cool features.
 
That's what I've been wondering myself... And how will they take care of the upgrades on the Xbox if they don't intend to release any other operating system in the future? Will the future Microsoft consoles run on Windows 10 (point whatever the upgrade version will be called) too?
 
I imagine it will be recoded to work with the XB1 interface but should be largely the same.
 
Windows 10 will come with DirectX 12, so some games which are made with DX 12 should look and run faster.

I read on a blog that Windows 10 would also run faster, and use less space on a hard drive, so Xbox One may work faster, and use less hard drive space.

I think the user interface would pretty much be the same since the Xbox One does not need a Startmenu like the desktop version of Windows 10.

They seem to always say that about new OS releases. Most of what I've read about it talks about things like the return of the start menu, better windows explorer, better touch support, and universal apps. I have no idea how any of that will impact the xbox at all.
