The latest Xbox One preview update enables screenshots (Off-Topic)

The March update preview is LIVE! Go update!

As speculated in the last thread, the feature captures a screenshot the moment that you double-tap the Xbox button. Pressing "Y" on the subsequent snap center overlay then saves the screenshot to memory. This ensures that games that automatically pause when you press the Xbox button don't interfere with you getting the exact image that you wanted.

They still have some work to do to enable seamless sharing of the screenshots, but they say that should be in an upcoming preview update before the final March release is ready. There was also an update to Upload Studio to support screenshots, but I haven't played with that and don't know what exactly it entails.
