"Among the features are improved and simplified remote access handling (it's just a one-click affair now), as well as media sharing through Windows Media Center extenders. Previously, you could grab files off of a WHS machine with your 360 through the videos app from the dashboard, but now you can go through Media Center Extender and keep the snazzy UI intact. There's also MP4 support, plus a bunch of bugfixes that you'll be happy to see." – Alan Cheslow
"Rival chip-making companies, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) have recalled all or most previously laid off workers and production is returning to normal levels.

So rather than buying games at stores, gamers could play them across the network — without downloading them." – Alan Cheslow
