Okay. Toyed with it for a while.

To be honest, when I first turned on my console in the living room, I didn't even know it had updated at all! After a while, it invited me to use Cortana. At first, she was awesome. Anything I asked her to do, she'd do. The new layout was fantastic, too. Really love having room for another pin and having my games and apps readily available and organized is awesome, too.

I have two Xbox Ones and two Kinect cameras so I tested out the party features, too. Worked great. It wasn't until I delved deeper that the problems arose.

Cortana.

Okay, a lot of people complain about Xbox One commands but I've never had that problem. In my game room (with my old Kinect), I could WHISPER voice commands and they worked. With the update, I don't even think "Xbox On" works anymore. I'd tell her to open an app and she'd google it instead. I tried Netflix and asked her to pause or fast forward and she'd say she couldn't. With my old Xbox, things work great but with my new Xbox (the one that updated, thngs aren't working at all when they used to work before. Hope they finish it before they open it to the public.
