NeoSeeker forum member posted up what looks to be predictions for Microsoft's X06 conference coming later this week to Barcelona, Spain.
Oddly enough, NeoGaffers point out that the exact same post popped up on TeamXbox. TX's forums were down for maintenance last I checked, so I'll just link to NS's post because I'm not sure who wrote what first. Either way, neither posts say anything about their source, despite the fact that they seem to present the details as news.
Here's the interesting bits from the post, hit the jump for my thoughts on the veracity of the posts.

Predictatron 2000
Gears of War: Most certainly true.
HD-DVD Announcement: When else would they announce this?
Halo 3: I expect there will be some talk of the game, but I'm not sure about the details in this particular prediction.
Dashboard: I already talked to Shane Kim about 1080p. While I suppose it's possible they'd dig more into the technology behind their update, I doubt it will take up much time. It's more likely that they will announce the details of their dashboard update and some new gee whiz features.
Live Anywhere: Hmm, not sure on this. I get the sense it's still a ways out, but I could be totally wrong.
Killer Instinct, Alan Wake, Fable 2: Sure more games will be shown off, that will likely be the thrust of the press event.
360 Bundles and such: I'm sure a black 360 is on the way, and since 360 bundles have hit Europe already, it makes sense there will be more talk of this.
While this is Microsoft's last chance to grab the spotlight before the launch of their two rivals, it seems like they would have made all of the huge announcements at TGS last week.
I expect to be wowed a bit, but nothing amazing to come out of this.
