If this is true we should see the fall update at or near the end of the month.

So, this is where the awesome begins!

I think they are just putting some things in place that will help the transition. I still think it will be November.

Don't get your hopes up.

This is maintenance. Not the update. Though it is coming soon, doesn't mean it's coming right now.

They're just setting things up for a smooth translation.

I despise long down times, and this is a pretty massive down time. Unfortunately it also happens to be my day off. What shall I do what shall I do. I know I will go all emo and slash myself to ribbons.

Probably server overhaul for the update.

Sounds like a pretty major overhaul for a 24 hour outage...

Hopefully, it will nicely pave the way for the NXE...

1. I still want to be able to keep my old interface if the new one doesn't appeal to me. Somebody remind me to e-mail MS with that suggestion.

and 2.) Tell me they will have XBOX Life support measures in place for that day. Like a temp server that will back up to the main one, so I can get my Live in for that day. I MUST HAVE LIVE !NCE A DAY!!!!!!!!
