The Fall 2011 XBox Dashboard update is coming, and it's looking like it is going to be a huge UI overhaul.
Probably the most dramatic change is the implementation of a very Windows-Mobile-7-looking Metro interface. I find this very interesting because at a point in the future Windows Mobile, XBox, and Windows will have a very similar look and feel, which is not the case today. Engadget's Sean Buckley describes the new look as very "tablet-esque," and while categories take up less space on the screen, the changes seem "more refined than cramped."
Kinect integration continues to be improved, with many more Xbox functions Kinect-controllable. Voice control will be possible in more places, and voice search via Bing integration may provide some interesting functionality, such as searching for "Batman" and getting back a list of ways to watch Batman on your Xbox. Friend management will change as well, with the ability to push status messages and achievements out to Facebook.

This is way overdue. Looking for a game add-on or a demo on the current dashboard is like performing a cavity search on this guy.www.sportliterate.org/news-blog/September2010html/images/super-fat-man-on-a-scooter.jpg
Just not right.
