I'll try hunt down the link, read that yesterday whilst trying to hunt down release times. I was rather shocked, considering the lengthy list of updates.

Edit: Found it

"Did you know our system update package is only 7MB in size? Or that the entire 360 O/S resides on a tiny 16MB filesystem and when running it is only given 32MB of system memory? I mention this as our developers and testers do an amazing job of coding for performance, and that is overlooked by a lot of people. Each day they are faced with adding more features, improving performance, and creating magical experiences with those hard-capped limits. And release over release they are able to pull off some magic to make it happen."

Don't be ditching it just yet, it's got some pretty nifty features, but at least you won't need it to transcode.
 
The update is supposed to be out according to Major Nelson, but I'm not getting anything here.
 
I just got it. :D

Everything seems a bit snappier, FoF works fine, Inside XBox also there, Marketplace rearranged. :D
 
I seeya online feo. Just read this on xbox.com: to force the update, load any arcade game.
 
Hmm, not too impressed with the video stuff. Most of my music videos still won't play from WMP11. Looks like I'm going to have to recode them.
