Windows 10 preview: PC gaming works great, but the Xbox App is full of dead ends

The Xbox App for Windows 10 provides a peek at a future in which cross-platform gaming might actually become a reality. But for now, it mostly provides a fancy look at your Xbox One dashboard.

I spent the weekend testing the Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview, which contains what you can charitably call a beta version of the app. The Xbox App is not the same as the Xbox Smartglass App, but has been available for months for Windows phones and tablets, and which is also (confusingly) included in the preview version of Windows 10.
