When turning on my Xbox 360 I was greeted with a message informing me of a new dashboard update. I downloaded and installed the update thinking that this would be the update with Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm. It turns out that all this update does is support a wireless N network adapter for the Xbox 360 that is ”slated to release later this year”. Here is a picture of a message telling of this update:

Will Windows 7 live up to all the hype?
Oct 8th
With Winodws 7 just right around the corner I’m wondering if it is going to live up to all the hype. People have said all this good stuff about windows 7 but is it really that good? I have not tried out the beta version yet but I look forward to getting to use Win 7 it when it comes out.
What do you think? Have you tried out the Windows 7 beta version? If so, do you like it? Will you be upgrading to windows 7?
Will businesses switch to Windows 7?
Oct 6th
It seems that just about NO businesses use Vista. I’m not surprised. Now, I’m not going to start crying about how bad Vista is neither am I going to tell you that Vista is awesome but personally I just don’t like Windows Vista that much. I don’t think that businesses do either. Maybe it is because it makes their computers “slow” or maybe it is because it is just plain ugly but XP just seems to be the best Microsoft OS these days. Will businesses switch to Windows 7 when it comes out?
What do you think? What operating system is used where you work?
