Windows Live Messenger on xbox360??

After reading the official preview from teamxbox and after all the gushing over the features we all know about from the leaked video, TeamXbox lets off an interesting hint of what else will be coming in this update...

After the update is pushed through, a more complete list will be offered, including the video codecs that are being added to enable you to view more file formats (such as MPEG 4 and H.264 video) via your Xbox 360.

Yep you heard that right MPEG 4 and H264 support, according to some of the tipsters from TeamXbox's comments and forum...

Other New Features Beyond Windows Live Messenger, the Spring Update for Xbox 360 includes hundreds of new features and enhancements including:

1. A richer Achievement notification pop-up will showcase the name of the unlocked Achievement and the gamerscore value without needing to leave the game to check the Achievements list.
2. Enhanced family settings features for Xbox Live communications enable different defaults for video chat and voice chat.
3. A new Xbox Live Marketplace blade lets Xbox Live members access the content they seek—whether it is game content or TV shows and movies (available in the United States)—from one place on Xbox Live.
4. Updates to Xbox Live Arcade allow owners to quickly see which Xbox Live Arcade games their friends are playing and join in the fun. Xbox Live members can also compare progress of leaderboard scores and Achievements directly with all friends on their friends list. Expanded "Tell a Friend" capabilities make it easier than ever to boast about Achievements and high scores.
5. Player and friends lists now quickly show session presence information for quick identification of users that are joinable.
6. Support for streaming WM-DRM protected content from a PC
7. Folder view for video content on connected devices
8. H.264 video support: Up to 15 Mbps, Baseline, Main, and High (up to level 4.1) Profiles with 2 channel AAC LC and Main Profiles.
9. Added MPEG-4 Part 2 video support: Up to 8 Mbps, Simple Profile with 2 channel AAC LC and Main Profiles.
10. Show folder hierarchy for video content played from all devices.
11. Bookmarks are stored for each video that the user plays remembering the users last location in the file as well as the aspect ratio that the user choose for that file.
12. Video trick modes (fast forward, rewind, chapter skip) can now be used while downloading Video Marketplace content. Skip forward and backward functionality has been improved to skip to the next or previous chapter. Each video is divided into 10 “chapters” allowing you to quickly skip around video content.
13. The information bar that is turned on via the On Screen Display (OSD) now shows you exactly where you are in the playback of the video file. In addition it will also show for Video Marketplace content how much of the file has been downloaded and where the “chapters” exist in the file.
14. Windows Media protected content (WM-DRM) can now be streamed from the PC to the console. If the WM-DRM license is missing or corrupted then a specific error message is displayed to the user. Bookmarking is also stored for protected content.
15. When the user is in the dashboard and an Xbox 360 game is in the console then the name of the game is displayed in the tray icon of the dashboard. If the user highlights the tray icon then achievements and gamer score are displayed for that game based on the signed in user. Xbox1 games show the name and image of the game.
16. Bookmarks are stored for each video that the user plays. The user can delete all bookmarks but this will reset all bookmark information for every video that the user has played. The bookmark database is exposed in the system/memory/system items
17. When a user selects an item for download from Marketplace then the system will determine if there is sufficient disk space for the item and, if not, will ask the user to delete content on the HDD. The system provides a sorted by size list of videos, game trailers, demos and arcade content to aid the user in the deletion process. The same list of items are also available from within memory so that users can quickly see which items are consuming the most disk space.
18. The screensaver is disabled when playing photos from any source
19. The name of game in tray is now displayed in the dashboard.
20. When the tray icon is highlighted, a list of achievements, game icon and gamerscore for that game is displayed.
21. Video trick modes are enabled for content that is being progressively downloaded from Video Marketplace.
22. Playback progress bar indicates download completion.
23. Improved skip forward, skip back functionality during video playback.
24. Switchable aspect ratio now available during video playback (Auto to Letterbox, Zoom, Stretch, Native).
25. Expanded "Tell a Friend" capabilities make it easier than ever to boast about Achievements and high scores.
26. A new option in Auto Downloads provides faster access to the entire collection of free, trial-version Xbox Live Arcade games.
27. New progressive download controls provide easy access to optimal viewing options by letting people fast-forward, rewind, pause and resume as their video is downloaded from Xbox Live Marketplace.
28. Extension of the background download functionality will allow owners to set their Xbox 360 console to turn off automatically after downloads are complete.
29. The console will block the user who attempts to download content onto a storage device that will never have the capacity to store the item without deducting any points associated with the content item

Now if all of this holds true, or possibly even more, for this upcoming May 7th Dashboard upgrade, then just about every prayer from Xbox fans has been answered, ok the Xbox360 Web Browser and @Home project aren't included but those could always be pushed down later as seperate apps and not as part of the dashboard Oh and TeamXbox also confirms the existence of the Xbox360 Thumbboard HELL YA, whenz can me order one of them babys!
