What Microsoft has been saying about Xbox lately strongly implies that this is a Windows handheld designed to solve software and user experience problems with using current Windows handhelds.

Some speculation on my part, but I'm not the only one coming to those conclusions.

Also it'll be running windows, so it'll be rife with vulnerabilities and need constant security fixes.

Xbox is locked down and barely has any security issues on user hardware.
