Eurogamer published a list of things people want improved or added to the Xbox One http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-12-03-frustrated-xbox-one-players-suggest-missing-system-features

Some of the top feature request are:-

•Xbox Guide functionality to return
•Friends as a tab on the home screen
•Notifications when friends come online, you receive a friend request
•Hard drive management screen
•USB support for storage/media
•View (and easily rate) recent players
•Smarter Kinect phrases ('Play Forza', with disambiguation for duplicates)
•Party chat to be simplified, on by default in parties
•Set game chat to TV, headset (or both)
•Controller battery indicator
•System-wide controller options (rumble off, layout save)
•Avatar store
•Voice messages
•Background music
•Custom backgrounds
•Ability to see Xbox One games/achievements on Xbox 360

Many of these I have been calling for as well, reality is from I can see all those features could be added with updates to the software, some you think should they be available right away? I feel that because these new systems were dashed out so one is not out for months before the other arrives features got cut, and can now be put back in. I bet MS are working on many if not all of those features now anyway!

they didn't add the friends coming online pop up, because with the friends list being up to 1000, that could be a hell of a lot of pop ups. I see where they are coming from but the choice to turn it on or off might be nice.

Suprised a download history/ ongoing download install list is not in that, as for example the china rising pack on BF4, had no idea what my one was doing with it. It was already downloaded so assume my One did that for me as I have it as always on. But when I said yes to install it I was completely in the dark as to what was going on.
