Well this is interesting. It appears Dell has lifted the lid off an unannounced feature coming with the Xbox One in November. According to the Xbox One Product page on the Dell website (first reported by our friends at Neowin.net), the Xbox One will be able to run Windows 8 apps which sync across all your devices. Interesting.
 
The product page claims that "... all your favorite Windows 8 apps [are] able to be run on and synced to your Xbox One," which makes it sound a lot like the Xbox One will be able to run Windows 8 apps.
 
Indeed, this could just be talking about how some Windows 8 apps can act like a second screen to games for Xbox One, but Microsoft has commented on Windows 8 apps on Xbox One in the past, claiming that developers should begin designing Windows 8 apps to be ahead on Xbox One when it launches in November.

Microsoft has yet to confirm the ability to run Windows 8 apps on Xbox One, we assume Dell has either accidentally released this information, or miss worded it entirely.
