Even the new one they are about to release?

Perhaps not, but the 360 UI was also garbage, i will go by experience. Also i cannot stand the adverts, far too many.

On top of what I said, now the screen fades after 10 mins idle? Would be fine if it didn't think I was idle when I'm actually watching a video on the browser. Did not happen before the update. Looked at the settings and did not find a way to change this

Not quite. People fire the manager just as a easy way to put blame. But I saw several teams that got 4 or 5 coaches and nothing changed, so obviously the problem were the players, but since it's hard to change them all, let's just keep changing coaches.

You are one of them and Jason is another.

More people are getting added in the new experience during this weekend. Not yet for me.

I really like it. Super smooth and very close to Windows 10 Xbox App. It is really great to have the same experience over my phone, console and PCs... I love that update.

Here is a nice video showing everything (21m of footage) for those who are not lucky enough to have it on already with their insider program:

Yeah sure it's not always the case, but many times you can see the manager making bad decicions and tactics and changing does do the trick. Like with Xbox, you said it yourself the team was the same, but now they've done some solid damage control and done better than many expected, taking things to right direction. There's still employees with voice and their opinions but ultimately it's down to CEO to set the course and make the decicions. There was many bad decicions made and whether you think Matrick was a yes-man who let other people make the decicions for him or he made the decicions himself (or even something in between) in the end he didn't do a good job.

I don't think anyone blames things solely on Matrick tho and I personally think the hate towards him was uncalled for, but it's funny to see people now underestimate his part in launch disaster to downplay Spencer :)

And I think you make too much of Spencer, really. He's a likeable frontman for xbox and so far he's leading things to right direction, making my Xbox experience better. That's all there is to it.

Have microsoft apologized? Nope, they just changed course due to the backlash, so I'm not sure if we had swapped Phill and Don positions it wouldn't have occured the same.

I even preffered Don since he was a lot more honest and direct instead of constant spins from Phill and his changes of opinion so he can always be on the upper hand.

I din't make too much of Spencer, but there as people that love him a lot.

Installing now...
