It wouldn't let you access them and you'd have to back out to the real dashboard, that won't be the case this time. There is going to be no diminished features when you are playing a game.

Pins are on the left side. They are user-defined so you can personalize what games/features/apps you want quick access to. Sort of like Windows Phone and Windows 8.

I'm not sure how much more clear "Xbox Bing Fez" could be. It takes 2 seconds for the download page to come up. It works incredibly well with the current Kinect. It doesn't do a direct translation, it searches available content for the closest match. So unless a game comes out called Zonic the Fedghog, it's unlikely that it'll interpret your speech wrong most of the time. If you search for Zonic the Fedghog today, it's likely Sonic The Hedgehog will come up because, like I said, it's searching for the closest match not literally trying to interpret your speech letter for letter.

One thing that always bothered me on 360 kinect was the 'Say what you see' feature.
Really hope with new kinect you can just say, Xbox Launch Ryse and it will just launch from anywhere.

Oh come on, "Casually promoting Bing, instead of anything else"
What else is there in that section? All of those apps where he is looking is a base Xbox One app or a Microsoft app. There is nothing else.
"Bing's garbage" Yep, definitely casually promoting.
Or he is a teenager with a parent who works at Microsoft, he has a pre-launch Xbox One at home, and wants attention.
Plus, there are plenty of bugs in that footage. Dashboard doesn't come up after he pushes the button. Ryse stutters in constrained mode.
Why would they leak this when instead they could just show a demo of it?
It takes no more than 5 seconds to look for something on the Xbox via Bing voice.
It's simple. It's no where near as complicated as you're making it out to be.
Yeah but Sony's bag doesn't look like it has a face.
Exactly. I have no doubt multitasking is in there but I just want to SEEEEEE it functioning. Pulling up a dash is fine and dandy but show me the goods.

Nope. All IOUs. Major Nelson confirmed it on his podcast.
Yeah, that's the biggest thing I'm looking for right now, using the Bing voice search (if you live in a country that supports it) can be a good way to get to a specific game or show or film, but it still requires you to make 3 or 4 voice commands more than I would like.
It's actually a very console optimized interface... And I hate win8 metro probably more than anyone on this forum
More color variation would be nice (hope we can modify that)
That's kinda the thing.
We haven't SEEN any of the snap features since the initial reveal.

The aim isn't to do something productive when playing video games, right? On my computer, I alt-tab out to check facebook, twitter, or neogaf during loading/transitional screens. It's certainly a nice ability to have.
Technically, pulling up a dash while the game is still running is already multitasking. Nothing relevant really distinguishes a "dash app" from an actual application spawned by the dash.

Dear Microsoft, get rid of "Metro"
Well we have not seen any UI since then. It doesn't mean its not there apparently major nelson is doing some a UI walk-through so instead of jumping to conclusions we should just wait for that.

BTW a lot of you guys should read this, they demoed multitasking and voice stuff at Gamescom the other day:

They did, when they got sued over the name.

Let me know when this "leaked" footage gets pulled down...
Oh no doubts.
I'm not here to say that it doesn't exist or that it won't be there. I just find it kind of odd that we haven't seen any of this stuff since the reveal.

Don't like that grid at all... looks like an advent calendar.

That was because of the snapping/resizing

We're talking about Xbox One's voice commands. Give it a shot before you write it off.

That doesn't mean anything, maybe they just don't give a shit?
These two videos of the UI haven't been taken down yet:

Why would they? It has gotten a considerable amount of praise. Almost any and all criticism is aimed at it's unnecessary functionality on a desktop PC; not a criticism that carries over to a console (or a tablet/phone). That's not to say you have to like the design, but many people do on the right device. Some people seem to be confusing criticisms of Metro's implementation on a desktop with Metro as a design language.
Yep. In addition, methodically taking down such videos would just lead to bad publicity. People would already have seen/copied them, and declare that Microsoft wants to hide development problems with the UI. Leaving them up, on the other hand, just brings some minor, nice attention like this thread.

I dont like it.
Way too many buttons on that screen.

You had to the quit the whole game if you wanted to get back to the full home screen though. Now you can have the full dash running at the same time as the game.

Just admit it's better for porn.
Bing on mobile and Xbox is great. I mean, on Xbox, I just use it to quickly find X game.
Bing on web is terrible because most of my searches tend to be technical and that's where it fails horribly.

Is this not a public event in the links you just posted? Are these not from Gamescom? That's not even close to someone having a retail kit at home, without supervision, and just going through unlocked features on his own. And again, how would this 'teenager' get access to this stuff without seriously endangering the job of his parents? It goes against logic. I don't understand why you're arguing with me, when the result is the same either way. It's just demoing the UI running in real time in a home setting.
EDIT: I don't think people realize exactly how easy it is to pull unwanted footage off Youtube, today. It's literally a press of the button. One think that sends off a red flag, is when a leak is using the most popular video sharing site in the entire world. All legitimate video leaks I've seen recently, are either shared person to person, through mega.nz, mediafire, youku, or some other really poorly moderated site. Like I said nothing wrong with this not being an actual leak, but I'm not gonna be that gullible.

Looks really plain and boring. It's just a bunch of green boxes. I guess we'll need to see more of it when ms is ready to show it off fully featured.
I just don't like the idea of having tons of boxes that are apps that MS have a hard on for similar to windows 8.

I think it is kinda weird that the game continues playing when he goes back to the dash. I would hope my game pauses so i don't miss anything. Kinda like the Vita does it. I still see where I left off but the doesn't run in the background. maybe there will be an option to set something like that.

Most of them seem to be custom pins. Hopefully there is a way to tidy them up, re-size them and segregate them.
I kind of like Bing too. I use Chrome though so is just works better with google, but when I get the urge to do a "play around search" I go to bing and it works just fine.
