I don't think it's much of a big deal or anything..

Xbox Live's latest update includes the capability to conduct voice searches through Kinect.

The new dashboard will make the Xbox easier to understand for new users.

The new interface also previews the look and feel of the next generation of Windows computers. Windows 8.

Along with the new interface, Microsoft on Tuesday will begin adding new video services to the Xbox, including TV shows from providers such as Verizon FiOS and Comcast. About 40 providers are developing Xbox apps that you can install on the console, in addition to the Netflix, Hulu and Zune video-marketplace apps already available. I'll bet these apps will also come to Windows 8 PCs next year.


The Comcast app — available to Comcast subscribers — will stream archived content from Comcast's on-demand library. It won't be available until early in 2012, perhaps the first week of January. Apps from HBO, CinemaNow and MLB also aren't coming until early next year.

Two marquee apps will be available with the first batch on Tuesday — ESPN3 and Netflix — but they were already available on the Xbox. Both have redesigned apps for the new interface, though. ESPN3 replaced its cartoonish interface — with Xbox avatars looking up at on-screen display windows — with a display that looks like a cable-TV channel.

Doesn't sound a whole lot different than current.

interesting....looks like its more Kinect friendly as everything is a page and moves left or right where as before it was up or down.
