Xbox One can run four apps simultaneously, allows sign-in for 6 users
The firm was demonstrating the console’s somewhat less known features to Destructoid. Microsoft’s Albert Penello’s reportedly showed the console’s ability to run four applications simultaneously. It’ll only run one game at at a time, rather obivously.
Switching between apps is similar to mobile functionality, with the OS allowing you to choose between boxes represent apps or games on the home screen.
Xbox One will support multiple sign-ins, with up to six users live at once. Kinect will decide the leader based on who’s holding the controller. Kinect will also recognize your voice among others in the room and launch games with your saves and settings.
Furthermore, Kinect will allow you to sign-in by just waving your hands, and will then pull all your details and saves from the cloud to the console.

PawnStars what would the point of 6 users at the same time be
This is what i'm thinking.
Sharing the screen with just one extra person is already bad enough. Think of only being able to see in a sixth of the TV.

Why would someone want 6 different users signed in at the same time? The 6 boxes on your screen would make each user being able to see like 4 inches of monitor space?

EhGProductionz This cool but I probably wont be running four apps at the same time. I cant wait to get my Xbox One and PS4 this generation is going to be bad ass.
I won't run 4 apps either, it could cause lag or freezing your console.

You don't realize you are doing it but you will probably use 4 lol. I do it on my computer leave so many things open, and it is going to happen on the PS4 as well lol.

Gigahertz Well as a next gen console this isn't really a big thing. I mean with that processing power you'd expect this.PC isn't a console. It's a computing device. It can't be "superior" in this so your comment is irrelevant. I mean even GTA 5 isn't coming to PC...
PC is superior yet again.

PearityJeff_Hardy-Lamborgini So this means I can talk to someone over Skype and play something.
I think that's what it means,
I think it may start to overheat your xbox if you run to many apps though.
I hope that it does not overheat while running multiple apps as there would be no point in allowing the console to do it. And I hope I can use Skype while I'm playing online that would be a bigger benefactor to the Xbox One.
They probably won't let you run that much apps without knowing it won't overheat, it'll be fine.
