It's ugrade week here in the Megatao camp.
Tuesday saw the release of the Xbox 360 "fall dashboard update" which brings DivX and Xvid playback to the console with a host of other new features . Microsoft have even seen sense and allowed the content to be played from USB memory devices and data CDs and DVDs too. If only the 360 wasn't so noisy , it might replace my aging Xbox1 and the perfect Xbox Media Centre app.
Wednesday was "upgrade to Leopard" day!
I have now updated my Macbook to run Leopard , the latest (and greatest) version of the OS X operating system. The upgrade went smoothly without any issues (after I freed up some hard disk space) and I am now taming the beast that is Leopard.
My first impressions are positive. It does seem a little slower to operate - so some more RAM might be on the cards once I have had a good poke around to make sure nothing is stopping it from running properly, but it kept all my settings, preferences and files too!
I had even disabled the OS X Dashboard to give my Macbook a performance boost and it left that disabled after the update too! I have already changed the dock from 3d back to 2d though as it does seem to be a bit of a memory hog.
What will I upgrade next?
I have two more days left in upgrade week...

“What will I upgrade next?”
Wife, Home Location, hairstyle, the list is endless.
And I love the Xbox update, Heroes Season 2 on a proper tele, shame it wont stream direct from the PC though.
I think it does matey!
Through Windows Media Player 11 or something…
Shame that upscaling the downloaded Heroes episodes makes them a little “pixelated” though…
Follow up…
Oh yes it does stream direct from the PC , as you said, you need WMP 11 with sharing enabled.
Full guide for anyone interested

I shall be upgrading my shower this week, as it exploded in a cascade of water at 7.15am on Sunday. That, along with a replacement Dyson and replacement parts on my combi boiler means I am now pissed off with spending money.
