With the way that Microsoft has refreshed the interface of their Xbox 360 console, Windows Phone and PC of late, there are more similar elements than ever in the different platforms. As it turns out, Microsoft might be setting the stage for a universe OS across all platforms.
What we’ve been told is that Microsoft is planning to somehow harmonize not only Windows for PCs and Windows Phone, but also the Xbox operating system sometime within the next four years a timeframe that perfectly lines up with both the end of the Xbox 360 s 10-year lifecycle and the end of Windows 8 s expected three-year run, writes Nilay Patel. That would mean Microsoft s next next OS will run on PCs, tablets, phones, and the next-gen Xbox when it hits sometime in 2015 / 2016. Yes, it sounds crazy, but it fits perfectly within the broad outlines Lees confirmed during his keynote yesterday.
