at the moment my default dash is unleashx with a shorcut that loads xbmc.

I was wondering what is the lastest updated dashboard, apart from xbmc.

And what the best dashboard is, apart from xbmc

It depends on what you are using your xbox for.

If you don't frequently use it as a mediacenter, your solution is fine. Unleashx has less features than xbmc, and due to that, it is smaller and loads faster. It's also a bit easier to use for first time users in my opinion.

If you frequently use your xbox as a media center, you better use xbmc as your default dash.

regards.

also. what are other dashes like avulaunch and neXgen 2 etc like.

what features are different compared to unleashx and evox?

you could just install the dashes as apps and see which one suits ur needs. i use xbmc as a dash and unleashx as an app.

xbmc is wonderful
very customizeable but psox and xmugen only runs on unleashx

(may runs on other dashbpoard too but i dont use them)
