In another change of course, Microsoft has announced that retail XBox One consoles will not be capable of converting to dev kits.
During a Q&A, Martin Fuller said that the plan was abandoned in the early stages, and that he really couldn't give any details as to why. He added that he knew of no future plans to develop the program further.

Update: The story has now been updated to reflect new comments from Microsoft denying the comments from Martin Fuller, and promising more updates on the program to come in the future.
Honestly that's even more worrying if the guy doing the Q&A doesn't know what the team is working on.

Oh, Microsoft. If you announce a merger with Eggo later this year, I will not at all be surprised.
