"they've got an internet connected box tethered to everyone's TV" Teenage male bedroom TVs perhaps. Lets not get carried away here.
Most people I've seen keep their gaming consoles in the living room since that's where the best TV is.
And I consider myself a pretty "hard-core" gamer.

What's the browser like on the xbox? presumably some subset of IE7?
There isn't a general-purpose browser on the Xbox. Sadly enough.

Jesus christ. What more proof is needed that microsoft don't get the internet? All in all the wii's opera browser is pretty functional.

Try outlook web access. Try searching in that. It's a ridiculously horrible experience. Or try adcenter as I said. Watch those billion iframes with their individual spinner loaders going round for 10 minutes while it loads.
What is adcenter? Is that their search advertising. No doubt they've failed at search, and all it encompasses. And certainly they've failed at other things that are online. But it's not fair to say they've failed at everything internet related.
I'm still in shock that the xbox doesn't have a browser. That's really scary. Either they are just amazingly arrogant and want everything locked down walled garden, or they are still in denial about the importance of the web, or they just don't get it.

adcenter is their answer to adwords/yahoo search marketing(overture). I'm still in shock that the xbox doesn't have a browser. That's really scary.

Without a reasonable keyboard, there's not point. And reading the internet off the TV sucks. I'd rather surf on my Moto Q, and that's saying a lot because surfing on that tiny thing sucks ass.
