Fun fact: On the lower right corner there is the Xbox logo emitting waves to an imaginary surface below. The pattern is a watermark for the serial number of the device to be identified in case of leaked footage. Only during development of Xbox.

Anyone know what the music visualizer is?

It's certainly not the real one[0], but looks a lot like the Winamp AVS/MilkDrop stuff. My Inspect Element -fu was however insufficient for getting a closer look.

Is there any chance the music section is legal? I would love to be able to put songs on my own pages, but I assumed it would be a legal issue? Is there a way to license songs at a reasonable price.

Very nice. Still I was hoping for the original XBox UI.

Introduces a lot of lag on the mouse pointer.

Man you really nostalgia pilled me. It's lovely and a work of art.

What's the deal with the audio delay showing up for button taps until the icons have loaded?
