Doesn't get my points back.

The new interface is a big improvement over the old one IMO.

Except for the ads.

I do like it a lot, the friends list isn't as in your face as it used to be, but works fine if you just use the guide.

Is it me or does it load a shit load faster at boot too? It's really clean, I like it so far.

I need to check that out. I'd try it on my XBOX, but I don't want to lose my peg-leg firmware just yet.

Dashboard update tomorrow, but it's missing things like Youtube and HBOGo. They'll be added later.
