If you're totally clueless in regards to all the "New Xbox Experience" talk, confused to no end and just want some of your basic questions answered, then TechRadar's "everything you need to know" article is just for you.
Have New Xbox Experience n00b questions like "what is it?", "why is this happening?", "what's an Avatar" or (our favorite) "what if I don't want the new dashboard?" Then their helpful guide can help and give you easy to digest answers. We'll even give you a freebie: Even if you don't want the new dashboard, you're out of luck, because it's one of those mandatory Live updates. Then again, why wouldn't you want it and all of its hotness?

What about being able to talk to friends and such while playing a Xbox 1 game?

What about being able to show your private bits to other players in Uno? Or will that somehow be compromised by the advent of Avatars?

November 26th? That's not anywhere here, there's no confirmation of an actual release date that *I* know of, so it seems like you're completely pulling that date out of your proverbial rear :)

Your questions are quite noobish, I got better ones! :p
1)Will the new dash let me add songs to the HDD via usb? I mean I got this awesome playlist I wanna try on LIVE.
2)Will I be able to add my own Gamerpic from my own collection of pics. I know you can use the live camera, but its too much work.
Software wise, thats about it lol.

The look is ehhhh.
BUT, the functionality is much better.
Look > function (I think I did that right!)

no, look > functionality means that look is better than functionality. Good try, though!
But >/< fail!

@flameofdoom
think you mean Function>Look
I'm looking forward to this update, I like change. Don't know if i'll make use of the installing games to my HDD feature, but I probably would if i had the Elite (I only have the 20GB). Really looking forward to the Avatars though, i love anything like that.

How many games can I install on my 360 Premium with the new update?
Does it only install the bits that need to be run from HDD, or does it simply copy everything regardless of if it helps to speed the game up?

i think it copies every bit of data over. so for a 20gb 360 (which only has at most 11gb) it can hold about 2-3 games.
unlike a PS3, it copies the entire game so it only requires one spin of the disc to check that you actually own the game. every thing else is read from the hdd.
