Is New Xbox Experience causing RRoD?

A Microsoft customer service rep certainly seems to think so
Has Microsoft's New Xbox Experience been bricking Xbox 360 consoles, causing them to die the dreaded 'Red Ring of Death'?
It has according to one unnamed Microsoft customer service representative, according to Gaming Confidential that published a quote from the "trusted source" that mentioned the "three red lights of death" claiming:
"Our department is bracing itself from [sic] irate callers after the update is released."

No hard evidence
Evidence, as yet, is thin on the ground, aside from comments from some angry posters in a number of gaming forums that claim to have suffered the RRoD problem following the NXE update last week.
Xbox Live spokesman Major Nelson said last week that the company was "aware some of you may be experiencing a few hiccups along the way", referring to the NXE update.
Microsoft, as ever, refuses to comment any further on the situation right now.
Xbox 360 has just turned 3 years old. Happy birthday, old bean! And don't die on us just yet! (Again...)

I thought its a hardware issue and has nothing to do with software/ dash updates :?

My 360 RROD'd after rebooting from the update. But I don't contribute the update to the RROD. This box had RROD'd before and had been x-clamped. But the funny thing is, I didn't have time to try and mess with fixing it so it sat for a couple days and when I went to fix it, I tried booting it and it worked. Still working too. I dunno for how long because it does have lock ups from time to time.
