XBOX ONE AND WINDOWS 10 ARE BFFS
By Kelly Sherndan at informationweek.com
Microsoft has announced plans to tie Xbox into its Windows 10 ecosystem with a September preview and November launch.
Microsoft had a major presence this week at Germany-based video game conference Gamescom, where it announced a slew of new features for its Xbox One console.
Xbox, which currently runs on Windows 8, will be updated later this year with Microsoft's new Windows 10 OS. The update is a boon to Xbox users, but also another step towards Redmond's "One Microsoft" strategy.
Part of Microsoft's goal for Windows 10 is to deliver a consistent experience to users across PC, tablet, and smartphone devices. This means a single core Windows 10 system connected by one Windows Store and Universal Windows apps.
Xbox will become part of the lineup later this fall, when Microsoft integrates features from Xbox Live and Xbox experiences into the Windows 10 ecosystem. Gamers will receive the upgrade for free through regular system update.
As Microsoft explained earlier this year, the Windows 10 update will bring your gaming activity to a range of devices. The Xbox app will make features like Messages, Games, Friends, Activity Feed, and Achievements available on the PC.
A preview version of Windows 10 for Xbox One will be made available in September. Microsoft will launch the system to all consoles in November, giving developers a couple of months to receive and integrate feedback from its user base. Through Xbox Live, you'll be able to have multiplayer gaming on Windows 10 against other players on Xbox One.
Here are a few additional features you can expect to see when the Windows 10 system upgrade arrives on Xbox One consoles later this year:
Redesigned Home
The Xbox homepage has been redesigned to emphasize gamers' most-used content. This will give access to recently played games, in-depth information on frequently accessed content and games, game DVR clips, add-ons, and achievements. The homepage will also help users more easily discover new content.
Gaming Assistant Cortana
Cortana is a primary feature in Windows 10, so her expanded presence on Xbox isn't a big surprise. The "personal gaming assistant" will work across Windows 10 PCs, smartphones and tablets to help you find new games, meet new friends and challengers on Xbox live, and discover videos and information to help you boost your game. Cortana is designed to get smarter over time and help you with non-gaming tasks like setting reminders.

Updated Guide
You'll be able to access different aspects of Xbox like friends, notifications, messages, and invitations from the new Home page (by scrolling left) or from within a game (by double-tapping the Xbox button).
New Community Section
To improve the social aspect of Xbox gaming, Microsoft has built upon the Friends section. It's promising faster and easier access to updates from friends and developers on the Activity Feed, and interaction with popular games and content on Xbox Live.
Xbox Avatars
Based on users' excitement about Xbox Avatars, the team has decided to emphasize them more in Xbox One. Avatars will have better image quality and the popular customizations on Xbox 360.

NEW XBOX ONE UPDATE WILL MAKE SOME FUNCTIONALITY 50 PERCENT FASTER
GameSpot
Eddie Makuch
The upcoming New Xbox One Experience update landing in November will make some system functionality up to 50 percent faster. That's according to Xbox engineering boss Mike Ybarra, who talked more about the upcoming update during an appearance on the latest episode of "Major Nelson Radio."
Ybarra said Microsoft tracks load time data for Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the New Xbox One Experience (available now to some testers), and in some cases, executing tasks is quite a bit faster. "Popular gaming features" will load up to 50 percent faster, but he didn't say which exactly these will be. But overall, Ybarra said fans can look forward to a "new level of speed and responsiveness."
The New Xbox One Experience will be available to everyone in November. Also included with the update is backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 titles, a new Guide, a redesigned Home, and a new Community section. Ybarra also teased that the update will introduce new "accessibility" features to ensure that the Xbox One can appeal to the widest possible market. These features will be announced later.
Also during the podcast, Ybarra talked about Windows 10's forthcoming integration with Xbox One. Bringing the OS to Xbox One is not as simple as you might think, he said, noting that it involved the team creating a highly customized version of Windows 10 built specifically for Xbox One. This is called OneCore.
"Windows 10 for desktop PCs has incredible momentum right now," Ybarra said. "We're going to bring all of that efficiency to Xbox One."
As of the end of August 10, Windows 10 had reached 75 million installs. Overall, Microsoft is aiming to hit 1 billion Windows 10 devices by 2018. In other recent Xbox/Windows news, a top Microsoft executive said the Xbox One is "literally a Windows device."

So you want to be promoted? ... Now you know what it takes. Don't whine if you are not meeting your responsibilities. Its all right here for you so get focused on what you should be doing by going to the rank structure and make sure you are doing those things you should be doing.
Read this over and over then apply it. Make note of any changes and/or additions as there are several. I suggest all XS get together with their Generals to review in detail and further make sure their Generals are doing the same with their captains and below.
XD's in all divisions surely need to do the same with all XS's.
Remember, its all here in black and white so there shouldn't be any reason we all can't be on the same page. This should prevent any possibility of anyone coming up with alternative ways to do things or making exception that contradict what is written.
Together we can make this community even better and bigger than it already is.

We are working hard on rewriting the material for all the classes so that they include the current changes. We were waiting till we got all these posted before doing any classes. There will be movement on these within the next 2 to 3 weeks as there needs to first be some training done for those that will teach the classes before they start them up again.
Glad you are excited about doing them and I will for sure do my best to make sure you get in the one of the first ones that is given.
Thanks.
