'Day One' update for Xbox One will take 15-20 minutes to download
In IGN's latest update to its ongoing "Ask Microsoft Anything" Q&A, Microsoft's Xbox One Chief Platform Architect Marc Whitten was asked about the file size of the Day One update and how long it will take to install. Whitten stated;
We are optimizing Xbox One so that the day one update is as fast as possible. While we’re still finalizing the details, we expect that the download will take between 15 and 20 minutes for most users.
That's still going to be a rather lengthy amount of download time and it suggests that the Day One patch will be quite large. It's going to be an interesting test of Microsoft's servers as all those new buyers of the Xbox One download the update at around the same time.
Whitten also indicated that, just like the Xbox 360, Microsoft will update the Xbox One's dashboard once or twice a year following the launch, stating, " ... we will continue to learn from what customers want and love to iterate on the best dashboard experience." Whitten was noncommittal in terms of the Xbox One getting its own Twitter and Facebook apps, stating, "While I can’t comment on the specifics of these two partners right now, at launch you will be able to access Twitter and Facebook through the Internet Explorer web browser on Xbox One at launch."

Mentalist-Skillz There has to be an update and it really isn't bad
I wonder why they just don't deliver an updated console, it would make things alot easier.
That would be a lot smarter to do. They are to lazy too do it though

Chloe_xD 15-20 all at the same time so 1hour maybe :/ ? x
No the times to not add together like that. 15-20 for most people to download ALL at the same time, its an estimate. I expect if they are planning a lot of people they would foresee a mass amount of people and not have the servers incapable to handle it.

Camin That's not bad if it actually only takes that long
True also, its not actually that long. Memories of the Xbox 360 updates taking an hour are coming back to me, 20 minutes is fine by me.

Well an update on the first day? I don't really see the point in it.
I mean, I get it might be needed but why not package whats needed on release?
