Windows 10 is truly the most amazing operating system EVER. It will not connect all your devices, but it will marry them together using what they call continuum. This is great because now you will be able to use your computer, tablet, and even your phone in the same exact way for every one of your apps. The UI looks the same because it IS the same. This has MASSIVE rippling effects on all your devices. Now you can connect a mouse and keyboard to your tablet of phone and use it as a desktop! How? Because they ARE desktops.
The same goes for your PC. if your shrink down your window size, the program will shift to the smaller screen view (phone view). Your monitor could potentially augment having multiple phones on one monitor!
You might be asking well what does this have to do with gaming? Simple: your Xbox One and Hololens will have windows 10 so you could use them like a gaming device, PC, Tablet, or Phone. It is the exact same code for EVERY device. This also means that you can play your videogames on whichever screen you want; console, PC, tablets, and (with Tegra X1) phones.
This is great news for anyone who has a TV and a monitor because now you can play your games on whichever screen you want.
The new DirectX 12 will also give the Xbox One a slight bump in graphics. This is due to more efficient manipulation of the CPU and GPU, as well as giving developers access to resources that were locked off in the previous versions of DirectX. So The graphics bump will only happen depending on the game engine used, and the developer's abilities.
This is only the beginning though. In the near future you will need only ONE device for work, home, and play: your phone.
Nvidia has already proven to us that you can use a phone for full-fledged video games. Now Microsoft has proven that you can use your phone as a desktop. So EXPECT to see an all in one phone announced in 2016 and I can promise you I will cover it on this blog...stay tuned.
