I think the update has something to do with the E3 Videos and Content that Moore talked about watching 'Live'. Perhaps adding more servers to account for the expected server load. Or maybe they're updating the Camera support since the camera is supposed to be released in May. Also, I hope background downloading finally gets supported! :)

In Major Nelson's recent audio blog he has made it clear that the down time is for maintenance and there isn't going to be a dashboard upgrade :(

Supposedly it's for Xbox live, xbox.com and the forums, so probably something to do with content @ E3 or more community features.

I don't think it's long before we do see a dashboard upgrade though, sooner the better ;)

There should have been an XBL update yesterday concerning multiple downloads and background downloads.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919421/

With the spring auto-update of the Xbox Live service scheduled for May 23, 2006, you will have access to the Active Download feature in the Xbox Live Marketplace.

With an active downloads list, you receive the following benefits:

? Each item that you download is downloaded separately in the background. This lets you continue to use the console while you download an item.

? You can stream music, play DVDs or CDs, play arcade titles, and play games while you download an item from the marketplace.

? If you start to play an online game, the download is automatically paused while you play the game to help prevent game lag because of network congestion. This helps you receive the best online gaming experience that the network can provide.

? All downloads are associated with your profile. If a download is paused or if the download is interrupted, the download will resume the next time that you connect to Xbox Live.

? You can add items to the active downloads list at any time by selecting more items from the marketplace.

You will receive a notification in the Xbox Guide when an item starts to download and when the download is completed. You will also receive a notification if the download fails.

I did update yesterday, but I coudn't see any difference.

Sounds like a good update. I'm glad they're reorganizing the marketplace and am really glad they've added the option to boot to Dashboard. The download queue is the most important to me. I just wish you could rearrange the order, but it's no biggie.

Yeah...I guess I can wait a week for this update ;)

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
