I'm sure there's hurdles to overcome before it's a reality. Even if it's limited capacity, I think we're ready for gesture-based computing and I think Microsoft's closer to making that a reality than anyone else.
- r00fus 15y agoI disagree with your assessment. "ready for gesture-based computing" indicates more than just public acceptance (which is likely there) - it requires the hardware power and capacity, form factor, and killer-app software use cases. This mindset of "build the OS, the apps will come" is no longer valid anymore, not when competitors like Google, Amazon and Apple are building out destinations and ecosystems, selling consumers on direct apps and tools rather than platforms that promise... especially, in Microsoft's case, when those promises have failed to pan out repeatedly in prior years.
