I have a Kinect for XBox and I have tried some of the non official drivers, and it works. I don't know why there is such a think as a Kinect for Windows, the hardware should be the same, using the API Microsoft just released...

Hardware is not the same. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kinectforwindows/ http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kinectforwindows/ kinect for windows has better hardware which can see objects much nearer to it.

  Actually, the hardware is likely unchanged. The original "Kinect for XBox" can see that close, but with error. The biggest changes are in the firmware and the Microsoft Kinect SDK. The SDK itself didn't allow for any data that close.

    Can you upgrade the firmware on the Xbox version?

      Probably not - if so, it'll be something that comes from the hacking community, not from Microsoft.
