Xbox.com new and most useful update IMO. Opinions?

Well today, xbox.com has updated their site, with a new look, some more things that you can now do, such as edit your avatar online, you can actually now preview avatar items on your avatar online, instead of just on xbl. There are also some other features that they also did, Windows7 Phones being able to play xbl games and get achivements and other things, easier ways to see what your family is doin on LIVE, they've updated the notification of your account subscription, and one other thing that i cant really remember. For me I see this as a good improvement, not a big one but its very useful, I also like the fact that now I don't have to go on my xbox and edit my avatar and can do it from the comfort of my computer.

So what are your opinions on this? Is this a good thing, a good improvement, or is it useless, and not really helpful at all?

The best update Xbox.com has received was when they fixed their customer support from looping emails around back and forth.

It's pretty basic and they should have had this when NXE came out.
