    Xbox 1's UI has made significant improvements since Launch.


    I would like to state that Xbox 1 has made significant improvements since Xbox 1 launched. I went to the Xbox 1 midnight launch in New Zealand, and know what the UI was like at Launch

    - crappy

    - very slow, took 30 seconds just to open up each thing. UI speed is dictated by 'how they make the software', not only your ISP speed. I have 100mb/s download and 10mb/s upload speed with Vodafone NZ.

    - Windows 8 like

    - Too boxy, inflexible, no voice messages, couldn't change the Dashboard background.

    Xbox 1's UI now looks more Windows 10 like. It's way faster than that Windows 8 like hunk of a UI. It's Friday night for me, and I'm downloading Star Trek Online which is free. And I just so <3 the state of the UI which Xbox 1 currently has. It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    much better than the state which the UI was in, at Launch

    Star Trek Online

    Installing

    2.72GB (18%) of 15.13GB

    31.79Mb/s

    I love this amount of info. I still really prefer the current Xbox 360 UI, just thought I'd share this info ^.

    :)

    this new UI really is just horrible....

    They're going to change the UI when Windows 10 comes out, just like they've made changes to the UI on Xbox 360. I also am not a fan of Windows 8. Too boxy snap this. But Xbox 1's UI HAS improved compared to what it was like at Launch.

    12/14 Console Update

    I guess that Windows 10 UI is so good on Xbox 1 that not much was added this month apart from minor bug fixes and improvements. 99% of the time I don't use IE on Xbox, I prefer to use it on my laptop. I haven't got the update yet as I'm too busy playing
    minecraft on Xbox 360. Majority of PC's out their do run a Microsoft OS aka Windows, just like Xbox is a Microsoft product. I would like the Community tab on Xbox 1's UI to be more like the Social tab on Xbox 360's UI, where it shows you and your friends avatars,
    party, activity feed. Xbox 360 also has beacons, something that Xbox 1 hasn't. But Xbox 1 is a humungous improvement compared to what it was like at Launch.

    Xbox 1's UI has made significant improvements since Launch.

    Thanks for sharing, and you're right... every update just makes navigation so much faster (and easier on the eye). I was late arriving to the Xbox One 'partay', only picking up the Sunset Overdrive SKU in August 2014. Hard to believe I let mine sit on the
    shelf for six months or more, because I couldn't bare the thought of parting with my beloved 360.

    Oh, how the tables have turned! Even though my 360 still waits in 'standby' mode - attached to the hip to its long-suffering HD DVD partner - I've actually had to remove the batteries from the controller because there was no point in picking it up anymore,
    especially since my Lunar White Xbox One controller just feels so PERFECT! <3

    Am really looking forward to the next dashboard update - can't wait to upstyle my avatar (note: they're updating our models finally! Hope they're bringing a bunch of new hairstyles too Xbox 1's UI has made significant improvements since Launch. :p).

    New Xbox One User Interface

    I like the Xbox One UI, it's improved since launch and will keep on improving but like the Xbox 360's original Blades and 2008's NXE to 2011's Metro, I think the Xbox One's UI will change, probably because Windows 10 is releasing soon which I think will
    be great.

    Fix Your UI and Audio Codex!!!!!

    A lot of people are complaining about what the April 2017 Update did to Xbox 1's UI.

    Xbox 360's current UI is superior and less uglier. It's MUCH MUCH MUCH more user friendly. It has avatars. And there's none of this littered with hundreds of Windows 10 boxes all over the UI it's like a maze of boxes. And I've had Xbox 1 since it launched!
    So I know what it's like! I feel your pain. Even when Xbox 1 launched, a lot of 10-15 year olds didn't like the Windows 8 like UI Xbox 1 use to have. They should put Xbox 360 software engineers on the Xbox 1 UI design team.

    Slow UI

    I agree. The Xbox 1 is meant to be able to "multitask". They've made some big changes to the Xbox 360 Dashboard too since I joined Xbox 360 late 2010 and I love how it is now especially when you take into account the hardware it's running on, on my Xbox
    360 slim 250gb console.

    What about Xbox 1 which has better processing power faster RAM than on Xbox 360 and 8GB's of it too, and we still have Dashboard issues and having to hard reset it. It seems more of how they make the software on Xbox 1 because the hardware is capable. I'm
    sure there will be new revisions of the Dashboard UI for Xbox 1, just like there was for Xbox 360. I also did a comparison video between Xbox 360 and Xbox 1's UI last year on my Youtube channel, titled Why I like the Xbox 360 UI (parts 1 and 2). You only have
    to watch it in order understand. The UI is more styled around the Windows 8 feel. That's why you have to snap this and snap that. Arg :) My ADSL Broadband speeds average 11mb/s down and 0.9mb/s up, I have Open NAT and my internet speeds pass minimum recommended
    internet speeds suggested by Microsoft. I guess live tiles is a bit of a culprit, but loading friends list and messages with the controller, is clumsy with the controller compared to the Xbox 360's UI.

    I do have to give some credit that there has been system improvements since the console launched November 2013, it now has more games and Xbox Live Features. But there's still room for improvement with the Dashboard.
