Windows/Xbox needs a handheld specific OS for these devices.

But my guess is if it they ever do have one, it's first going to be on their own handheld.

After that other companies can pay a steep price to have it on their handhelds, I bet.

Probably not, they still need market share. More likely it would be just locked down, filled with ads, and generally unusable.

It's not going to be great, they can't refrain them selfs to put some kind of ads into it. But it's still windows, so easier to play those few games that can only be played or is easier on windows.

But I've no experience with Windows handhelds, they'll need to pry my steam deck out of my cold dead hands
