Every now and then Microsoft rolls out an Xbox 360 dashboard update that rearranges the furniture onscreen, tailoring menus and streamlining features to make things easier to find and use. Take yesterday's fall update. It updated the Zune Music service, streamlined Netflix searching, improved voice chat quality, and rescaled the dashboard's selection boxes, meaning the ones you scroll through left or right to select stuff.
I'd been previewing the update for a couple weeks without issue. Yesterday I turned on my Xbox 360, signed into Xbox Live, and updated my system to the final version along with everyone else. Well, almost everyone else, if comments from disgruntled Xbox 360 owners who've been unable to download the update aren't outliers.
