I heard they just added a few "family features" but I really don't know the full details. I expect MS to have some sort of press release soon.

and keep your panties on, this site doesn't get a lot of traffic.

yea usually if noone answers in 40 min noone ever will.

and the thingy says that they updated the family settings for parnets to help control what their kids play...but i think its stupid...if you buy the kid the game shouldnt you know what it has in it.

Besides the new family settings, I believe they included several "time released" features. You know, implementing changes now so that there's no delay to deploy the new features when the time comes.
Windows Vista is launching very soon and with that; VIsta computers bring extra functionality to the 360. For instance, Vista will incorporate some sort of Xbox messenger program, like MSN messenger but it can cross communicate wtih the 360 friend's list and so forth.

The Microsoft Zune is coming out soon as well, so I imagine support for that was included.

Remember, the last update the 360 went through was to make the necessary changes to the dashboard for the Xbox Vision and that was well before the Vision was released.
