Mary Jo Foley was the one behind this particular bit of news, but apart from the name “Threshold”, it remains to be seen just what will be revealed in the updates. One thing could very well happen though – the release might just work to make sure that the family of Windows-based products will be brought closer, and among them will include the likes of Windows Phone, Windows, and the Xbox One game console. According to Mary Jo Foley, “Threshold” will build upon cross-platform commonality for “high value activities”, as Microsoft works to make sure that its key platforms will be able to interact with one another better than before. This sure as heck sounds like quite a plan, but will Microsoft be able to see it through eventually? Only time will be able to tell.
