Microsoft Working On New Dashboard?

Will Natal force Microsoft's hand? Seems so.

SuperAnnuation does it again, digging out the juiciest snippets of information from the web, and once again good old LinkedIn proves to be the leak.  So, it looks like Microsoft are working on either a brand new dashboard or at least some new tweaks to the current one, going off the above link which states that an animator has been working on the NXE (do we still call it that) for a couple of months.

I’m assuming that when Natal arrives the current dashboard will need some serious tweaks so that gesturing will get you to wherever you want to go rather quickly, but I’m not entirely sure why there’s an animator onboard, albeit one with serious Flash experience.  Perhaps the interface design will be more ‘alive’ with lots of flipping and zooming as you frantically wave your arms about looking for Rez HD.
