My parents like the Kinect. They bought an Xbox just to play the Kinect. They like Kinect to play racing games on the Xbox. I use a controller to play Halo. Different audiences, different appeal. I don't see the UX-potential of the Kinect porting to the PC anytime soon. Call me stuck in my ways but I think the mouse and keyboard is pretty effective. Maybe focus-follows-eyeball would be cool, and Compiz's head tracking plugin gives windows some floating perspective, but I don't know if these things are major shifts in the Desktop paradigm or big enough to be iPod-cool.
