Screenshots – While playing a game, you can now take screenshots on your Xbox One console by simply double-tapping the Xbox button on your controller to capture a screenshot and pressing Y to save the screenshot. If your Xbox One is equipped with a Kinect, you can also say “Xbox Take a Screenshot” to take and save a screenshot.

Upload App – The Upload app is being updated so that you can manage your screenshots in addition to your game clips. You can use a screenshot as your background, by viewing the screenshot in full-screen mode from the Upload app, then, press the Menu button and select Set as background.

Suggested friends – With the suggested friends feature, the Friends area in home and your friends list will help you find and add friends. Suggested friends will include people you might know, so you add more friends to game with, and top community broadcasters and clip creators, so you can get more great content in your activity feed.

Sharing your name – We’re rolling out two new ways to share your real name; with all of your friends or to everyone in the Xbox Live community. You can also continue to share your real name with select friends, or with no one, if that’s what you prefer. Gamertags are still the primary method of identifying yourself on Xbox Live, but sharing your real name helps people recognize you who might not know you by your gamertag.

Tile transparency – We continue to listen to your feedback and are adding a setting to enable you to vary the level of transparency for your background images. Go to Settings -> My Xbox -> Tile transparency.

Privacy & online safety settings – We added a new setting for sharing voice search data to create an option for users to allow collection and analysis of voice data when they use Xbox – Bing to search.

Report spam – The Messages app has an added option to allow you to notify Xbox when you receive spam. You can now select a specific message, press the A button and then select Report -> Spam to report a specific message as spam.

OneGuide for Australia – Support for OneGuide will continue in preview in Australia for free-to-air TV listings.

Xbox One Digital TV Tuner in Australia – Xbox One owners in Australia with an Xbox Digital TV Tuner can now use it with the preview builds of this month’s release.

Let us know what you think of this month’s preview and stay tuned for more news on Xbox One system updates. And remember, the most effective place for your ideas, suggestions, and feedback to be seen by the teams that create Xbox products and services is at the Xbox feedback site.

As much as I love my Xbox One, I hope they come up with a better and faster way to do things like music and other things. The 360 had it right with background music and I loved the context menu you can bring up anytime to see messages, music player, or whatever. Now when I get a game invite, if I don't hold down the xbox button fast enough I lose the invite then I have to press it once, go to the home screen, go up to notifications, and then launch it. I would like to see more options when holding down the Xbox button instead of just console and controller turn off.

Also, this could potentially wreak havoc on quality control:

"The switch means developers will be able to submit and publish apps in November, and they’ll need to be built on the new universal apps SDK. Windows 10 will arrive on the Xbox One later this year to support these new apps, and Microsoft is slowly moving its approval and store policies to a pace that will allow developers to submit apps to Xbox One in a similar way to the existing Windows Store."

When I go to the Microsoft store on a tablet or on a desktop, other than the games, I find nothing but junk after junk after junk apps. Many of them are obvious ripoffs advertising one thing, and just being a text based something I could easily get through a web browser... They really need to revamp the store and get more people on-board making some quality apps.
 
I'm thinking Sony will respond to this update with another stability patch.

Windows 10 will be a paradigm shift for Microsoft and its OS business. It will revamp everything and make apps a central focus. Apple proved that Apps are the future and Windows 8 proved that Microsoft didn't understand that until now.

I'm excited to see Xbox One becoming a real app platform. Sony should be shitting itself over this news though because they simply don't have the infrastructure or ground work to create a similar platform. Its funny but software changes might end up being the thing that brings Microsoft into a dead heat with PS4 despite its weaker hardware.
