Here is a little video of what the new Xbox One interface will look like.
I hope this optimization means my Xbox One wont freeze up when i forget to exit out of too many apps. It would be really nice if the Xbox One worked the way I'm sure Microsoft originally intended.

Yeah, one thing I really dislike about the Xbone is how slow the interface is... Really hope that this update will really address that

I don't mind it being slow its the fact that it eventually freezes.

I don't like how un-user-friendly the dashboard is. Hell even the "guide" is a colossal pain in the ass.
There is NO easy way to access you friends list, NO easy way to send message or party invite, and as far as I can tell, NO way at all to access your achievements in a TIMELY manner. The hard-drive management is an absolute JOKE and if you don't hold the guide button to "launch now" whenever you get a message, invite, etc, it's gone forever.
I used to be able to do ALL those things IN GAME. Now? Well let's just say the MCC wait times between games is actually a GOOD thing.
So at this point I'm not even hoping for optimizations, I'm hoping for functionality.

Latest video showing off the update.
Ten days out from the official launch, they still have alot of improvements to make. The dashboard chugs along at random and still freezes.
Let us know if your having issues. Especially after the 12, let me know. I keep thinking I have a faulty Xbox One, but it might be that way for everyone.

It certainly freezes less than the old dashboard and it is so much quicker to see your friends and messages. Looking forward to finding out what games are backward comp.

If my Xbox doesn't stop chugging and doesn't stop acting up, I'm considering selling it. Yeah, the games are nice but I have had more problems with this thing in the last 2 months than all year. Things. just. don't. work. the. way. they. should. I would SPELL it our for Microsoft but I just don't have the time. I spent all that waiting on my Xbox One to work. Nothing highlights this better than going back and playing my 360 which responds to every command I give it 100% of the time. Yeah quitting to the dashboard mid-game can casue you to sit through a 10 second load time, but it does do what you say, every time. After the 12th, by Xbox better start behaving. This might sound harsh, but I was in an official Microsoft store yesterday and told them about all this and all they could do is shrug their shoulders and knock $5 off a copy of Halo 5. So I just left and said "Thanks Microsoft!" on the way out. It's little things. Why am I punished for dashboarding out of Resident Evil, into Netflix, and then and hour later when I want to watch something on Hulu, the Xbox pauses for about 30 seconds, I'm assumed it froze, and right before i go to pull the plug (the only known remedy) it wakes up, and quits me out of the game, which is fine but.... WHY AM I ALLOWED TO RUN THREE APPS AT ONCE IF THE HARDWARE CAN'T HANDLE IT!!!!!!! ? Thats what I used to LOVE about CONSOLES. The hardware and software was optimized to perform the best with what it has. No variables that might effect graphics/sound/performance etc. It's so frustrating.

I'm downloading the update as I post this. People have reported problems with the update www.destructoid.com/having-issues-with-the-new-xbox-one-experience-update--320410.phtml so I'm kinda nervous because I preordered Rise of the Tomb Raider digitally and If I have to download it again or if it's messed it up I'm going to be super annoyed. Anyway I'll share my opinions in a few hours, note that I didn't have that many issues with the old Xbox One stuff outside of it taking ages to connect to my new router (not new anymore) oh and some issues where stuff wouldn't load in correctly or the store just took a while to work correctly. I guess I had more than that, disappearing friends list, sometimes it reverts back to the original Xbox One dashboard and My Pins would occasionally reset.

My initial impressions...
I hate it, it's so messy and horrible. Maybe I'll get used to it but I can't see my background at all, I could barely see it before now I can't even see it. There's so much information that doesn't interest me, It's like someone had a diarrhoea explosion of icons.
Maybe in a few days I'll get used to it's design and end up liking it but right now... No. As for stability and stuff I've only used it for a few minutes but it seems the same as before.

I can add that to the list of things that I'm not even sure exist along with unicorns and adam sandler's talent.

I'm in the preview program. Just turned on the Xbox and says it hasn't updated since the 9th. No new updates available... No backwards compatibility for me right now...

You sure man? Everyone should have it at this point... Try slapping any game from the backwards comp list in, that's what I had to do to get the update when Mass Effect was released as backwards compatible

I posted a that on the 12th. I didn't get the update until way late in the afternoon that day but when it happened it seemingly fixed everything. I have experienced minimal slow down and no freezes since. I hope it stays that way.
