Wouldn't that be the product of this post Lambert the problem that is, you don't have an xbox but we a least know that you have a computer and i'm sure if these drivers are produced you would partake...

Tampering? Law enforcement? Man, that's hilarious. Loving Adafruit's responses. If there were decent Linux drivers, I might actually want one of these things. (And I suppose I'd want to buy it from...

The worst of it is the stupidity. How could this possibly hurt MS? If the plan succeeds, MS can sell more of these gizmos. So what's their beef? Dumb!

If Ford were to bring out a car that only ran on Ford toll roads people would think it strange. That MS can do that to equipment for the information highway and barely raise an disinterested mutter...

I really wish MS would STFU. If I buy the damn thing I want to use it however the hell I please. MS wants to keep us locked to their small time thinking and big time profits.

This is a pretty jerk move again Microsoft. It will cost them millions. They've spent two years working on this thing, just to have it support other consoles instead.

To those asking why MS cares if everyone buys Kinects but doesn't use them with the Xbox, there's a simple reason - hardware is often a loss leader. I'm 80% or greater sure that until a few months ago,...
