Despite a listing on Dell's store page for Xbox One suggesting otherwise, Microsoft says its new system will not, in fact, be able to run all Windows 8 apps.

Among the features listed on Dell's Xbox One page is one touting Windows 8 app support. "Consider the game officially changed," reads the description. "With all your favorite Windows 8 apps able to be run on and synced to your Xbox One, now your phone, desktop, tablet and TV can all give you a unified web and entertainment experience."In a statement issued to AllThingsD , a Microsoft spokesperson denied this is the case. "The suggestion that all Windows 8 apps run on Xbox One is not accurate," the spokesperson said.What's curious about this is the way the listing specifically mentions Xbox One; it's not as if this was an issue of a mistaken copy-and-paste. Considering the statement says Xbox One can't run "all" Windows 8 apps, it's possible that some will run on the system, though just how much work that will require on developers' part, if any, remains to be seen.We already know the operating system used by Xbox One -- Windows Kernel -- is similar to Windows 8, but Microsoft has not officially made any statements about Windows 8 apps running on and syncing up with Xbox One. With a month to go until the system is released, we should know more soon.
