Xbox a commencé à tester le streaming 1080p via sa plateforme de jeux à la demande Xbox Game Pass. Le service de cloud gaming de Microsoft a, jusqu'à présent, connu un certain succès. Néanmoins, il lui manque un élément déjà grandement mis en avant et amélioré par ses concurrents : une meilleure qualité d'image. À l'heure actuelle, les jeux proposés depuis le catalogue Xbox Game Pass ne peuvent être lancés qu’avec une résolution maximale de 720p. Ce n'est pas catastrophique en soi, dans la mesure où l’adoption de la résolution HD permet de fluidifier les performances et la bande passante.

The NSA is not the only government agency asking tech companies for help in cracking technology to access user data. Sources say the FBI has a history of requesting digital backdoors, which are generally understood as a hidden vulnerability in a program that would, in theory, let the agency peek into suspects' computers and communications. In 2005, when Microsoft was about to launch BitLocker , its Windows software to encrypt and lock hard drives, the company approached the NSA, its British counterpart the GCHQ and the FBI, among other government and law-enforcement agencies. Microsoft's goal was twofold: get feedback from the agencies, and sell BitLocker to them. See also: Is It the Dawn of the Encryption App? But the FBI, concerned about its ability to fight crime — specifically, child pornography — apparently repeatedly asked Microsoft to put a backdoor in the software.
