[EDIT] Microsoft also seem to have finally made the xbox capable of streaming divx from the pc! Hasn't given up on any of my videos yet!

It has done that for quite some time.

aside from the little avatar thingies (which nintendo didn't invent) is it actually that similar?

**edit**

having now downloaded the update, my brother tells me it's just different from the wii ui

I was referring to the avatars

I have to admit that it is a little strange.

I have downloaded CoD5 to the HDD so that can't be bad.

Can someone verify that this is a bug in the NXE and not just on my Xbox?

Go to "friends"

Press "a" when you're over a group of friends who are in a particular game - eg GOW2 or something

Then press "b"

My console seizes up EVERY time I do that.

Anyone else? :(

The new Live doesnt seem to friendly with our Belkin Router, I need to reboot it everytime I want to connect. Once connected its fine, its just getting connected that seems to be the problem.

I was referring to the avatars

which are basically the same as those available from weemee years before the wii was released, and licensed for use with the likes of MSN Messenger whilst Nintendo "created" the mii avatars for their wii system...who's ripping who off again?
