oem integration

About this tag
The oem integration tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about how original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are integrating custom software and hardware features into Windows, particularly for handheld gaming devices. Recent threads focus on the ROG Ally and similar Windows 11 handhelds, where OEMs like ASUS are working with Microsoft to deliver a console-first Xbox Mode experience. Topics include controller-first UIs, full-screen launchers, and the tradeoffs of using community builds to enable these features on non-Ally devices. The tag also touches on broader OEM-related integrations like cloud printing and cross-device handoff, but the core theme is how OEMs shape Windows for specialized hardware.
