I with 512mb model never realized such problem, but definitely some people will hit to it as serious error causing update to fail.

corrupted visuals (if you mean improper corners and lines) are due wrong locale and font setting rather on windows side. unfortunately microsoft never had full multi language support implemented and it depends on the fonts used etc...

Cool, I had thought as much with the "corrupt visuals" (indeed, the lines and corners). Although it used to work on alpha 5 with the same putty setup, so something probably changed there, although it is not "broken" as such.

I'm on a 256mb Pi as well (very EARLY model B), so that indeed makes sense.

From my very limited testing this morning, the update seems to have worked ok (apt-getting xbian-update from your repo): I have youtube installed no probs, it worked perfect. I'll test more when I get home.
