Id be worried if I were you lol. I am hoping they are making alot of changes. One being the new Tivo deal and streaming cable through the system. I can only pray. Getting ready for the 120gb hdd.

"Xbox Live, Xbox.com Offline March 27, 2007

We've got some scheduled maintenance coming up and want to let all of you know that both the Xbox Live service and Xbox.com will be offline and unavailable starting at midnight Pacific Daylight Time on Tuesday March 27, 2007 for approximately fourteen hours. We know you've got some questions, so here are some answers:

Q: Why? Why? Why?

A: Because we're giving the hamsters the day off. Seriously we just need to do some regular maintenance on the servers. We're not doing it to make you mad … really.

Q: Is this a Dashboard update?

A: Nope.

Q: So what's going to happen exactly? What's it going to look like for me?

A: You will see a "We're down for maintenance" page on Xbox.com and a similar message on your Xbox console.

Q: Fourteen hours? But that's a long time.

A: Yes it is. It's also 50,400 seconds. Count fifty thousand "Mississippis" and we'll be back up and running."

THIS WAS NOT A DASH UPDATE, JUST SECURITY...

Sounds to me like you hackers are going to be in trouble!!!!!!!! :)

Hmmm this could suck for my future plans.....

Actually as I understand it, it is security for us not for MS/Xbox... It's to protect account info better...

Its to stop the use of Linux on the xbox, blah blah blah. What they should be worrying about is the implementation of clan support in Gears of War so I can play online ranked with my friends like "multiplayer" games are supposed to be. YOU HEAR THAT M$ I KNOW YOU READ THESE FORUMS FIX MY GAME!!!!

they don't work together... Therefore the people who are doing the security update have no ability to work on GoW...

I know they don't work together, it was wishful thinking that if enough people read the disgruntled messages it might make a difference
