imagine having Windows 10 on a smart TV with universal apps and Cortana
with a start screen-like UI and being able to sync with Xbox One wirelessly

This would be great. At the very least I'd like to see Windows Media Center completely remade.
I don't care whether they spend any time on a fancied up WMC, just get the bloody thing to play on Win 10! And yes I do have strong feelings about it.rly:This would be great. At the very least I'd like to see Windows Media Center completely remade.
But for someone who doesn't care about Xbox games, an Apple TV is only $99. I think if Microsoft did something similar to Apple TV (sans gaming), it would be attractive to people who don't care about Xbox games.Don't MS have something, though a bit OTT called Surface Hub?
Would MS do a version for normal TV's? Probably not, as they want you to use an XBOX as your home hub.

Just hook your raspberry pi 2 with windows 10 to your tv, it will get much more functionality than the 40$ sticks right ?

For example, I'd consider anything but a game console, since console games don't interest me. The price of Apple TV, Roku, Google Chromecast would appeal to someone like me. If Microsoft had something in that type of price range ($100 or less), a lot of people who don't care about games would consider it.
I think a better choice could be a cheap Windows tablet like those under $100 with HDMI out, much more functionality than the Pi and perfect for playing or streaming movies.

I agree it would be nice, however I don't believe MS would see the commercial benefit to creating this. It would eat into their XBOX business, and they could argue you could use as suggested above, Miracast from a Windows device.
I admit at home I use a Apple TV, mainly for Netflix, but also for streaming from my iPad (can't afford/justify a Surface) Flixster...
