The eagle-eyed users over on the NeoGAF forums have spied an unusual bullet point over on tech retailer Dell's website listing for Xbox One pre-orders, touting the ability to run "all your favorite Windows 8 apps" as one of the upcoming console's selling points.

Consider the game officially changed. 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 the months since the device's reveal, Microsoft has made no official statements to this supposed fact, only going far as to explain that games played on the console would run in thier own dedicated operating system, with the console's dashboard and supporting software applications running in parallel on another system that is built on the Windows 8 kernal --both of which are nested under a hypervisor host.

Little has been said about or demonstrated of the non-game applications that would be available on the platform, although many have suspected that Microsoft would be able to open up the Windows Store that launched with Windows 8 and Windows RT to the Xbox One platform. It's peculiar that this feature is only listed on Dell's store, so it could be a misunderstanding by the retailer on the device's capabilities, or an accidental leak of information that isn't supposed to be published yet.

Presuming it's factual, we still don't know if that means all Windows 8 Windows Store's "Modern UI" applications will be compatible and made available (presumably the Office Suite is off the cards, as that still even requires the desktop environment on Windows RT), or whether it will be limited to a subset of MS's in-house apps, such as IE, Skype, SkyDrive, and Outlook, that have been specially retooled for console use.
