Microsoft have called this a media driven refresh and with all the extra media benefits that are coming that is positively valid. Taking a gander at the manner in which they have accomplished this, by including an App area and the new App Marketplace, Microsoft appear to pursue the lead of the Apple store and the Android Marketplace, in spite of the fact that for the time being these are for the most part just media based applications.
Metro style interface
The main thing you see about this interface are the new tiles. Every menu thing on the dashboard contains both extensive and little rectangular tiles. When all is said in done the huge tiles contain included stuff and the littler tiles, the less imperative stuff. The web style top menu gives an approach to rapidly skip between menu things and comprises of the accompanying things - bing, home, social, television, video, amusements, music, applications, settings.
Bing
Microsoft's Bing Search motor has been introduced with the new refresh and gives a solitary spot to seek over all substance on your machine and online substance inside Xbox Live. Introductory impressions are great. Content hunt incorporates prescient pursuit recommendations which are valuable when you're endeavoring to type with a standard Xbox controller. You can likewise channel your outcomes by media type for example Video, music, diversion and so forth .
Home
DVD Tray - The home menu thing contains a tile with the present diversion, the DVD plate.

Getting to the new Facebook application, prompts a little download. A significant little download considering the progressions they've made.
In the wake of being incited for a username and secret key. A Privacy screen is appeared. There are 2 settings; Display My Xbox Live data and Auto Login with Live association. Choosing the previous will show your Xbox Live gamertag nearby your Facebook name. This is something you may not need if your Facebook page can be gotten to by work partners. Telecommuting and having a snappy noon session of Call of Duty would not look great spread all around Facebook.

You would now be able to look for Facebook companions on Xbox Live and Xbox Live companions on Facebook. Sending a companion demand to either support is made extremely simple.
Television

Carnivale S2 E9 was 496MB in size, however begun playing in a flash after a short advert obviously.
The application contains another Sky people group where you can 'Like' recordings and include a remark by means of a menu framework, or prescribe to a companion. The 4 level, different expression decision remark menu framework is somewhat awkward to utilize, however it beats composing stuff utilizing the controller. Here's a model remark of a remark - ' I was satisfied with - the scene - by the end - An extraordinary scene!'. It's not incredible.
You can likewise look for video content by most prescribed, top saw and so on.
The Sky Action wheel (press Y) gives you speedy access to the principle capacities, for example the organizer, ongoing movement and so on.
