The Windows 10 leak from a few days ago includes a special bonus in the form of an Xbox app. What does this represent for Microsoft?

If nothing else, it just means “we created an app so you can see if your friends are playing while you’re on the computer doing spreadsheets”. Thanks, we guess? Again, it seems Microsoft themselves don’t even know what their platform is capable of. In other news, another app was Cortana, a voice assistant and Siri equivalent by Microsoft themed after the AI from the Halo series.

While we’re talking about video games, we can’t help but quote Adam Jensen from Deus Ex: Human Revolution: “I never asked for this”.

You can never have enough apps, right? With that in mind, Microsoft's rolling out a couple of new applications to Xbox 360s in the US and Canada. For starters, those of you living Stateside will now have access to Manga Entertainment and MUZU.TV (also available in the True North); the first of which allows you to watch free video content from its catalog, while the latter has around 40,000 music videos ready for your viewing pleasure. In addition to the aforementioned apps, the Australia-only FOXTEL application has been updated with support for Redmond's Kinect, allowing Oz folks to control it with hand gestures or by voice. We've already seen the new apps pop up on our Xbox, so you should be seeing them hit your console any time now.
