Other than the WiFi bridge losing connectivity at random (sometimes it's solid for hours; sometimes it goes after twenty minutes, but it's a considerable lateral distance from the AP and on another floor) and then NOT REESTABLISHING A CONNECTION (which is not the 360's fault), I'm really liking the 360's networking bits. Vista Ultimate happily installed an MCE connector. Even easier than that, I've turned on Vista's Media Sharing and I don't even need an MCE session. I just go to My Music in the console, connect to my machine, and play my entire MP3 collection from the 360's console player, which puts up Cthugha like patterns to the music on the screen while it plays, which is pretty nifty. I'm assuming that any video I add to WMP's library will also just show up like magic, which is something I intend to play with later.

It let me connect to Windows Live Messenger in the console and I sent requests to all you peeps I have as Messenger friends who also have XBL Gamer Tags.

I watched part of Young Frankenstein last night via NetFlix streaming on the HD, which is Fucking Awesome.

Oh, and it plays games too.

Edit: Confirmed...it has access to all video and pictures in the WMP Library as well.
