But you're right, MS had the opportunity to hit a homerun with this. Come up with something really innovative with the UX. But from what I understand they're pretty much just showing videos. Maybe they should have gotten the XBox team of UX designers in on this. It might have been more impressive.

I mean, besides the fact you have to install some bloatware that makes my Mac unhappy, but I degress. Had they done something as innovative as http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/docroot/tourtracker2008/AdobeTourTracker.html I think it would have been palitable. Microsoft, this just screams "I want to be popular too! Look I can do 4 video feeds!!". Beh.
