Major, I'm still having issues with Live;

Takes 20-30 seconds for the dashboard to load

Impossible to open voice/picture messages after 8PM GMT

For those that don't want to listen, the Live update is that there is no news allowed due to the fact MS is being sued.  Not sure why they couldn't have jsut posted that instead of burying it within the podcast.  Oh well, so much for that.  We are basically stuck with a flakey service and no updates now.  From bad to worse.

Also still lot of problems with LIVE over here in Austria/Europe every night all from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. (CET), maybe also at other daytimes. While althought most of the time COD4 matchmaking is now possible, the Dashboard is still loading for up to a minute after sign-in and sometimes you get signed out of live. It's better than two weeks ago, but Live is still far away from a satisfying expierience. Sorry to say that as I like Live a lot.
