Not an official announcement, but it's probably safe to assume an Xbox handheld is in development.

That's something that could have even saved them money on R&D for the Xbox itself, but there's no way in hell they would allow you to use your gaming console as a desktop.

It is fascinating how they are willing to waste a shitload of money just to lock users into an ecosystem. Imagine how easy it would be to just run Windows on the Xbox and allow to boot into desktop or game mode as needed. That would have been a huge selling point against Playstation, but "make life better for your users" will never be part of MS's philosophy.
