"Launched in 2010 with a $500 million marketing campaign" I am very, very, far from being a MS apologist but I think that dropping Kinect is a really stupid idea, strategically. MS have dropped quite a few balls recently and this is another one. No doubt in the boardroom this will be an obvious slash to balance the books but it is a bloody stupid idea when you look a bit wider. This thing was/is a bit of a game changer - not really new, per se, but very useful in quite a few areas. Quietly, many groups in many areas of research and development have used this thing to do things that border on sci fi. I hope Kinect is dropped somewhere else - it is just good enough to work well.
