To me, this is the most popular dashboard. This "bootup" operating system includes an IRC, Telnet, Skins Server Browser, and XLINK KAI client, as well as an integrated FTP server. It also includes the ability to download game saves from xbox-saves.com right from the xbox into the game via the menu that comes up when you push "start". Displays game icons, plays shoutcast streams, and can play MP3 songs in the background.

Avalaunch is an alternative Xbox dashboard that allows users a lot of flexibility and ability to customize the layout to fit their needs. It is free to use, and is developed by a group called Team Avalaunch. Because of Microsoft's copy protection measures, users that wish to run Avalaunch need to either install a mod-chip, replace the original Microsoft BIOS with one that is friendly to running un-signed code, or install a software exploit on to the hard drive which allows the Xbox to run unsigned code.
