Is this a beta build? I mean it was bare-bones and running slow.

But they still have time to optimize it, I guess...

How do you figure that it's "slow"? A couple of seconds to load an app is not slow by any means for a console, not to mention that switching from an app to the dashboard was near instantaneous.

And obviously it is a beta build since it doesn't have anything but the bare essentials. The final product will have all sorts of tabs much like the 360 has right now.

Near the end of the video when he minimizes the app and goes back to the dash you can clearly see slowdown.

Nothing terrible by any stretch and most likely non-existant by the time launch comes around.

I re-watched the video and you're right there is a slowdown at the end. Not that it surprises me mind you, I fully expect slowdowns like that in the finished product from time to time because I've yet to come across an operating system that doesn't at least occasionally get laggy or slow. But hey as long as it's better than the 360 (which I think is almost unbearably slow, sluggish, and laggy most of the time) then I'll be quite happy.
