I’ve been writing for more than a year about how Microsoft needs to overhaul Windows on handhelds and use an Xbox OS UI on top, keeping the complexity of the Windows desktop hid

Microsoft lays out plan to bring Xbox to handhelds this year - Lenovo’s new SteamOS handheld seems to have lit a fire under Microsoft, fast-tracking its plans to make Windows gaming more like Xbox

Ronald explained that Microsoft aims to bring a console-like experience to handhelds and "make Windows great for gaming" on any device. Microsoft will have more details to share later in the year, Ronald said, adding that the idea is to move away from a Windows desktop setup on handhelds and toward a "gaming-centric" experience.
