For starters, you'll get to your Friends List right away, in the Dash, without going through Account Management or starting up a Live game. On your Friends list, you'll see who's online and what game they're playing. If you want to invite them to join you in a new game, you can send the invite from the Dash! This makes it so much easier to hook up with your friends and get in a game.

You'll also be able to set up a Voice Chat session from your Dashboard. How cool is that?

Account Management is also on the main screen and has all the fabulous and tantalizing account management options that you have all come to know and love. Okay, we know they're not quite as exciting as the Halo 2 trailer, but it's good to have 'em when you need 'em.

If you just can't deal with change, just select Main Menu, and you'll be right back in the comfortable old main menu.

If you're an Xbox Live subscriber, you're about to see some amazing improvements and additions to the Xbox Dashboard. We're calling these new features Live Now. When you fire up your Xbox on August 25 (without a game in the tray), you'll be able to bask in the glory of the new look and new capabilities.

Now the question that interest us all ... will there be a fix for the XTF/ST.DB exploit, will MS allow to still use the old xlive dash or will you be forced to upgrade, ...
I guess we'll know the answer on August 25.
Nice from Microsoft to warn about the dash upgrade anyway
