What's in it?

Completely redesigned the HomeScreen/Layout/Guide/etc to make it much easier to navigate and accomplish simple tasks like creating a party, inviting people to it, and whatnot. Not only does it look better but it's a major performance boost from the previous. Not to mention with it they are adding backwards compatibility which will be ready in a couple weeks I think?

I believe it's a rolling update. Thankfully they took the time to work out the bugs in the preview program, so now the update works about as well as it worked before the update. When I initially got the update, it was nearly unplayable. Entire console crashes, screen freezing, activity feed was buggy, etc. It all seems to be fixed now, though.

Regarding the backwards compatibility, which console is it with? The Xbox 360 or the original Xbox? Secondly, can you play games with original discs from the backwards compatible consoles? Is there a fee for it? If so, is it a monthly fee or a one-time fee?

It's for 360 games to be playable on Xbox One. No fee. Just has to be games that you owned on the 360, but it's from a select list of games. I'm not too sure about the discs, didn't read that much into it.

PC gaming is no different. Every time I start steam I have to update it (not 7 hours, but it's annoying). I also bought a hard copy of Fallout 4 and still had to download the entire game. Which would have taken me almost 7 hours.

I'm apart of the preview program. I think I've had the update for about 1-2 weeks, but closer to the 2 week area. Other friends of mine have had it much much longer. We all agree that this is the UI the game should have shipped with, while not perfect, it's still a vast improvement over the last. One high point for me is the ease of using and interacting with your friend list and starting and inviting other to a party. The party system and friend list is worlds faster and much more straight forward. For me it's a big enough improvement to impact my overall impression of the Xbox One, far less frustrating now.
