What Xbox Live Compute (Microsoft's cloud) means for you (interview)

The creators of Xbox Live Compute — the new name for the Xbox cloud — believe they can make gaming better for you while also improving the Xbox One over time.

The company expects its worldwide infrastructure of remote servers to power many of the online functions that our Xbox 360s had to handle in the past. That means better online multiplayer and potentially smarter artificial intelligence, and it might mean that Xbox One games could look prettier even when the system starts to age.
