I would bet money (if I had any) that tons of people will find ways to make Kinnect work with PC with less lag then the 360, and that my friends is why MS is being a big baby.
Seriously I don't know what's with MS these days. Poor quality design, poor quality QA, poor quality programming, and poor quality game Devs. Not to mention stubborn upper management/directors. Whoever in MS has this motion control boner needs to be sacked. No wonder Apple runs circles around them in terms of quality (minus the ipone 4 antenna snafu). If something doesn't work then just scrap it or delay it so you have a quality product. I mean I'm just a regular guy and I know that, so who the heck is running that company???
I think MS needs to clean house. People working for MS probably treat their jobs like government workers; full of self-entitlement and think they can ride on a blank check. It is showing in their products.
I really hope the community of modders/hackers grab hold of this and shove it in MS's face.
/end bitter rant
//still can't believe MS is selling Kinnect as a piece of gaming hardware
I tend to agree. I've prettty much used MS products my entire 35 years of computing, professionally and personally. I've even defended them in many situations over a lnux or unix product. But over the past 10 years they have completely lost their minds, shabby products, price gouging etc. I get they need to make money like any company but it's gotten to the point of pathetic, really pathetic.
I have ZERO use or want for a Kinect unit for my xbox. I already got a Wii that collects dust now.
However, I'll just say this - Kinect + XBMC
I'm am sure MS is thinking Kinect + Media Center, but media center is horrible, poorly designed piece of $%@#$%@%. It amazes to this day how a huge company with the software engineers they have, and the hardware already in peoples living rooms, that they can not do a better media center.
