As I've said in another post which you're probably reading right now, the content was prepopulated, yes, but the actual demo of the UI was live and demonstrated the actual functionality of it at that time.
Pre-populating content to demonstrate a UI goes on on a daily basis. The actual functionality of the UI is still there and it's real-time, the content just isn't live real content. So, instead of connecting to a SQL database, pulling down an XML file that instructs the UI to display content, then populating the screen with that content. They already have an XML file on the system that the UI gets populated with. It doesn't mean when I snap something I'm not snapping it, the functional operation of the UI is there. The content is (in a manner of speaking) just hard coded rather than generated.
To suggest that the reveal UI presentation was fake is disingenous. It was not. They demonstrated the UI by using the UI. The only thing "fake" about the reveal UI presentation was the fact that the content used (i.e. the movie, music, tile images/titles, and a Bing background image) all used pre-populated content to ensure they had the content they intended to display and consistently displayed the same UI.
Do you honestly think Microsoft is actually testing the console against live, in production servers? Hardly.
