I believe promoting Mixer, Clubs, and other social features is 100% the goal of the new Home interface. I'm sure they were discussing it and saying "Mixer and the clubs are great but not enough customers are using them. How can we expose and encourage their use?" This home experience is their stab at it. The problem is that if you aren't interested in those things, they may not be ads but they essentially feel like ads to the user because it's visual promotion of something you don't want.

Yeah, I'm not a fan. At the end of the day performance is king and this seems like it brings that, but it feels like a Zune OS rather than a refinement of the Metro design.

Zune OS was godly tho.
Also getting the black crash screen, seems to happen when I try to edit the block of a 360 game.
I'm doubling down. This is the worst chance they've made

Not a fan of how Spotify sits in the background on the newest build, hopefully they spruce that up.
example?

So I've had a chance to dig into the new UI.
I really like the new guide layout. It's very fluid, simple and zippy. Especially the card style design when looking at other smaller windows like achievements.
The overall speed is a lot quicker too which I thought was great.
The new highlighted selection cursor is something I never knew I would like this much.
My main gripe is the home screen. It's simply very odd in its design. While the layout is very cool, I dislike the ads and will never use the find friends, at least not like that.
Overall I am impressed.

My Zune HD OS was/is amazing. If they can replicate that feel then I would be really impressed.

Welcome to the alpha ring.
Oh I expected issues. It's just habit for my to do it so it keeps crashing. I'll just have to make sure I'm jumping to letters using Y instead.
For upcoming features, I would love PiP with transparency for any apps that stream. Watching The International while playing something would be kinda nice.

but the guide is so much quicker and responsive that its negligible. Also it makes it more organized. I have 300+ friends and im 20+ clubs, having to scroll through all that was kinda annoying but now I dont have to scroll pass all my friends to get to clubs or scroll [ast clubs to get to friends.

Yeah, notifications grouped with settings is a bit odd, although to be fair it's referred to as the action center and groups the two just like Win 10 does. (maybe they should match the icon with the action center icon in desktop though?)
Yep they really need to use the action centre icon. From that screen they should also allow us to turn off controllers and full shutdown the console.
For me it's any and all blocks. I've been successful in being able to move or delete a block about 1 in 20 of the times I try. Luckily a guick guide button back to home clears up the crash.

Lots of good feedback in here, hope you guys are sending it in as well.
And this is the update that makes me opt out of the insider program after 3 years. Even the insider app is taking a shit on me. It won't even let me opt out because it is saying I was never in and need to register again. I can no longer connect in parties now and last but not least, this dashboard is a fucking nightmare. It's now telling me that I can't open some games because I need Xbox Live. WTF.
At this point I just want to revert back to the old dash so I can at least enjoy being online.

This blows.
Hate how it takes an extra button press to get to the old vertical list of friends. The vertical guide was fucking great and there was no need to change it.
It feels like MS are making changes to appease the complaints of people who rarely used the previous dash and still wont use the new one.

The reason they do this is because its a trick to make the UI faster. As they do not need to populate the full list each time you get on that tab they can download the necessary data in the background instead. People ask for a faster UI have to understand that the UI is still heavily dependent to your internet connection by the need to download the social graph from Xbox Live each time you do a new log in.
The "Social graph" is the structure all your social data is stores on Xbox Live and includes Friends, Activities and such. The "Social Graph" has to be downloaded each time you log into the system and is cached after the initial download on your console but is still updated driven by events raised by Xbox Live.

Can't get Cortana to do anything this morning, except prompting "listening". Thanks Cortana.
*edit - she's back ! and now she displays the command I said half an hour ago. Seriously guys, add a timeout to such stuff, getting a reaction that late is adding insult to injury. Like asking the waiter "can I have ketchup please ?" at the beginning of a meal and see him bring it when you're eating your dessert...

Would it kill them to just allow folders or 'sections' so that you can say "here is where my games go, however many I want and nothing but games"? Whatever ads there may or may not be on PS4 (don't recall seeing any recently besides PS Now), at least I can stuff it all in a folder where I don't have to look at it.
My Games & Apps and filter them to show only games/apps etc.
Would be nice to have multiple sections of pins and custom name them but I often only have the few titles I regularly use/play.
Well I know you can filter them after going into that menu, but I mean more of a permanent fixture on the main screen rather than having to go two or more layers deep every time.

Both Home and Guide from a usability and visual perspective are both a step back.
Holy crap! This is wonderful news.It is true! This is a screenshot that shows the new options. As you can see there are new button for "Select All" "Copy selected" and "Move selected".
Indeed this will make things much easier than now!
Moving games over one-by-one was such a freaking slog when I moved from a 1TB to a 3TB external.
I held off on moving to a 4TB recently specifically because I didn't want to do that again, because even after every one you queue up to move, there's a little pause making the whole process so. freaking. tedious.
It looks nice overall and seems to perform well, but I really don't like the exaggerated glow effect around anything that's selected. It looks like the sort of thing I'd add to all my images in Photoshop when I was learning how to use it in school. Really doesn't fit well with the rest of the design, looks garish and the colour doesn't even match the one I chose in the personalisation menu.
Here is a pretty good post that sums up what's wrong with the new Dashboard:

Seriously, this needs to change. Worst UI layout ever.
