According to the present disclosure, users can have PC experiences on game
consoles. For example, a game console can become a computing device
dedicated to a server PC. PC capabilities, applications, programs, and
even desktops can be remoted from the server PC to the game console,
cached on the game console, and displayed on the game console display.
Moreover, any devices native to either the server PC or the game console
can be easily shared between the server PC and the console.
Alternatively, a game console can be a concurrent computing device with a
server PC, where only minimal content is stored on the gaming console,
and minimal applications are remoted from the server PC to the game
console. In either the dedicated or remoted case, various common features
may be used, such as notifications sent from the server PC to the game
console.
