The Windows Live Messenger update seems like the biggest. You'll probably need a keyboard for that, lol. It'll be more fast though as you don't always have to check your messages and reply to them, instead you get a chat box. I also like how they added the "Marketplace" blade, it will be easier to navigate. The part being able to watch movies as they download sounds neat too.

You can watch partially downloaded movies...

That is already possible, once the movie gets to a certain point you can watch it...

This update really doesn't make me excited at all.... Its all bout messenger which I don't use so blah.

is there keyboards that are compatable with the 360?
It would make sence to have them if msn is coming to the 360
will you need a windows pc to do that?

i think i'll have a look for a cheap one because it would make writting messages sooooooo much easier.

According to engadget we can also stream mpeg-4 format as well as wmv...

Edit: I mean with this update we'll be able to stream mpeg-4.
