All we've seen so far for Natal were essentially tech demos on hardware which has already gone through several revisions and isn't used in current development.

I'd suggest waiting until E3 2010 before deciding that there's nothing worth looking at, as that will be very close to product release time.

No.     Either way, the computer chips will be processing this, not so much the software, MS either needs to spring for more expensive chips, spend more on software, or just be happy with what they have. 

No?  I'm not sure I get your point.

My point was stating that Natal is a failure because of a few very early tech demos on old hardware is a short-sighted and unrealistic position.

Natal will ship at the end of 2010, most likely, so E3 2010 will be games very close to completion and the hardware will have been nailed down by that point.  E3 2010's showing is closer to what people should use to say whether Natal is a success or a failure.

I understand the talk about the chips, but serious performance optimizations are occurring all the time.  We've all seen driver and hardware optimizations occur.
