Sounds like someone did not read the XBox Live! EULA. What happens is the X-Box displays a message that you cannot play on Live! until you go to the download center. If you agree to go to the download center, I would think that you would expect a download. All you have to do is not agree and stay out of the download center, but then again, that would kind of defeat the purpose of playing Live! Since the new Live! dashboard is the "hub" of communication for the XBox now, I do not see the point of staying with the old dashboard and not being able to connect to anyone.
The point is that then you own your box, assuming you already have gained control of it using the old "dashboard". oo--JS.

I came back home after work, connected my XBOX to the internet and went into the XBOX-Live menu configuration. Well what happened. The XBOX started automaticly downloading the new crappy XBOX-Live dashboard, which is of course fixed. This is IMHO an act of computer sabotage. I have never allowed MS to modify my dashboard or to auto update my dashboard. Is any lawyer on the list who can point me to the right paragraphs? I do not believe this computer sabotage is legal in any european country.
