You thought Ubuntu's upgrade was bad - Xbox takes the cake!

[Stray Wolf]

I've been using Unity since the day 11.10 came out. I did fresh installs on all my devices and though it's not perfect I can see where it's going. It's sleek and so simplistic it almost makes you feel like you're forgetting something. A lot of people complained and still complain about Unity and the direction Ubuntu is going. I thought of this the night before last night when I did the latest update to my Xbox 360 and saw the new interface. I'm not sure any of you have gotten the update but wow...it looks outdated and has a more cumbersome interface now. It's really bad. Detractors of Unity should see how the "Pro's" do it. Chances are you'll point and laugh. If you think Unity is a change for the worst you should see Microsoft's Xbox and smart phone OS's. They've recently redefined "change for the worst.

To be honest I think Microsoft's Windows Phone user interface is pretty good, can't comment on the Xbox user interface change you are talking about though, as I don't have an Xbox.

I think the Unity interface is a step in the right direction; it does need improvements here and there but generally it's pretty good. Though I think there is still work to do in some areas with Ubuntu in general to make it more user friendly especially when there are problems with hardware compatibility, etc.

Ok, where's the cake?

My PS3 just got it's 4.0 update. It now gives me a health warning and to consult their documentation about the topic. Do that many people get seizures it's now that big of a deal. I mean, really? Wasn't it enough to place the warning on the game's box.

I will give it to Sony for not changing much and upgrading the menu at a pace that doesn't cause stricken panic of its users. The annoying DRM limitations not so much.

Everyone is entitled to thier opinions and as a proud owner of a Windows Phone 7 (HD7 by HTC) and Xbox 360 I love the new look and feel. The Kinect integration is amazing and I hope my next tablet purchase can wait until Windows 8. I think they are definitely going in the right direction. I will admit it takes time to get used to the new dashboard, but I've had it for a month or so. After about a week you'll see that it flows very well and if you have a Kinect you'll realize how nice it is to be able to tell the Xbox what you want it to do. Even my wife loves it and she is a Mac fanatic.

I like it. Since I use Windows 8 on my gaming rig, I'm used to it.

its ugly and there are still annoying ads on the dashboard.

Thats why you install an internet gateway with moblock.
