Is MS going to license Natal software to third parties?

In that scenario, yes. I just think that scenario is highly hypothetical.

But maybe that's just because I don't see any reason for something like Natal to be used to control generic devices like a TV. Yeah you could control a TV using some ridiculous gestures, but a remote control is simple, effective and fool-proof (no changing channels due to making the wrong gesture).

Well, there are already tvs being made with camera technology, I am not sure if they are using IR or not though.

And yes, this is highly hypothetical.  Laptops might have a use for this, businesses might have a use for this(collaborative online meetings, presentations, etc), a single camera in a room might interface with multiple devices.  I don't know, I am not a particularly inventive person, but some might come up with something neat for this.

Interesting, I didn't hear about those TVs with cameras. What are the features the camera will aid?
