Xbox LIVE now reopened after maintenance

Microsoft had closed Xbox LIVE yesterday for more than 24 hours, as a plan for scheduled maintenance purposes only. However, if you've returned to LIVE today, you may have realized that some changes were actually made. A 'Most Recent Achievements' section was added, as well as your last three friends seen, with details. Additionally, your last played games can be differently displayed.

However all of the changes aren't as appreciated. Here's a quote from EvilAvatar that pretty much sums up one new addition:

"One TOTALLY ANNOYING thing? They placed the 'My Xbox' page behind a protected login, so links like this wont work anymore, unless you're already logged into the site. There's no privacy setting to allow everyone to view your profile either."

Yikes. Hopefully some of the new features are more welcomed.
