I'm not a big fan of rumors and what not, but this actually does seem like it could be legit, but remember it is still a rumor until Microsoft confirms it.
Those Xbox message boards are always a cornucopia of information that Microsoft really doesn’t want us to know. That seems to be the case again, as Xbox.com forum goer by the name of “Post Up” has posted what appears to be the list for what we can expect in this fall’s Dashboard Update…

As I said before, it is still a rumor until Microsoft confirms it. By the way I told you it sounded legit, but if so why wouldn't have Microsoft taken it down? Do you really want to know the reason? Well if they took it down that would be sort of a "silent confirmation" that it was true, but if they leave it then they can just keep saying "we don't speculate on rumors" you know the regular PR bull.
