    Nope. From MN's podcast at around 38m 30s

    "Now....what this is not, there's a horrible rumour and that's 'cause you guys think you know better than anybody else and you post these up......you're not going to come back and find a dashboard upgrade. Sorry. That's not what this is about. This is a maintenance for Xbox Live, Xbox.com and the forums. That's the way it goes.

    Now I will say this.....when it does come back there'll be some cool stuff that you may want to look at on Xbox.com. But this is not a dashboard update. Did I mention that? So....no dashboard updates going out on Tueday the second, so there you go."

    hmm so no dashboard update... i wonder what they'll have changed at xbox.com

    whenever they do upgrade the dash, what do you think will be changed?

    i wouldnd mind a few things, perhaps the option to stream video files (trailers etc) from the net as opposed to dloadin them... also a new blade packed full of all sorts would be cool

    also, anyone else find it annoying then when you are listning to music, and then slap a game in the music stops? or even, ur playing a game and listning to ur music then exit to dash and music stops...... it annoys me some times :| i wish it kept on playing and was miore seamless...

    you can also, check the messages that are on your 360, send messages straight to a friends xbox 360...

    they most likely had to change the structure of the connectivity that xbox.com and xbox live has together... nothing special there tho...

    i want street fighter too :(
