According to this, the main purpose of the Spring Update on May 7, 2007 is to connect your Windows Live ID (a.k.a. any Hotmail account) to your Xbox Live account, so you can have instant messaging and voice chat between the 360 and the PC.

They're also releasing a keyboard around the same time, so it'll make chatting a little easier. That, or you can connect any USB keyboard.

There's a list of other stuff in the update, but this is the main reason for it.

Sounds neat, although I can't say it really benefits me.
I know the gamertags of the people on my MSN list if I care about playing them. If I didn't, I'd ask them on MSN.

The keyboard might be neat for certain things, but I doub't I'd need it.

Regardless, updates are always welcome to me.

Yeah, I don't really need the update that much either, but it at least helps in a way. It might just get me to use Windows Messenger a little bit more, as opposed to never.

The thing I consider to be the best in the update is the keyboard support. Now I don't have to go all the way to www.xbox.com to write messages.

It sounds really good domokun
I think i might pass on the keyboard option since i don't have any trouble just typing it in or sending a voice message xd

But the sound of the hotmail thing'll be really good!!

I wonder what they're gonna come up with next? blaugh

MAYBE AN XBOX OVEN! FOR ALL YOUR COOKING NEEDS!

Being able to talk to my messanger buddies on my 360 might be neat,
but it could also be annoying if I'm trying to play a game and people keep talking.
