I wonder if somehow we'll be able to get this version of Windows available to download. Would be great to install in a living room PC or similar.

I'm also very interested if this version will be able to avoid having to leave the Xbox interface, be it to interact with other storefronts or to do some changes in Windows. Since they control Windows and have a strong position for partnerships, it may be possible.
