M$ is going to have a TALL mountain of expectation to climb for this device, so they had better be bringing their serious A game for this.

This is what worries me. I dont understand or see how this is going to really change our lives drastically like all of these people are saying. Its seriously being touted like its on par with the discovery of antibiotics, the microwave or even color TV.

I think something like this being trickled out and fine tuned before going all in the way MSFT appears to be would have been a better idea, but i guess we will see. I'd really like for people to stop saying how life altering and revolutionary its going to be across more than gaming and tell me why it will be.

No it's not. Stop exaggerating to prove your point.

I've had enough of that tonight.

It's ben spoken about enough times how it could be put into tvs for control or museums etc for interative tours. those are just to very simplistic off the cuff ideas.

gee sorry i guess if YOUVE had enough of that tonight i better zip my lips, sir.

How can it be put into TV's? I missed that, i remember being told it could replace the remote control...but how exactly, voice recognition, so someone could be a jerk and say something to change my volume or channels? I can move my hand to change channels? What if someone waves goodbye how gets up quickly would it interfere. That smy point, dont tell me "it could replace the remote contorl in a living room" and stop, tell me how becaus ei dont see it.

This is rational questioning on my part and lack of substance on the folks talking up natal. Why is it needed for museums for interactive tours? Will it put you with a dinosaur in a 3d world? On a single screen? So i could interact with a Sabretooth Tiger at a museum rather than actually looking at what teh museum has from the past? How is it used for a tour? Like a webcam? I just keep hearing these ambitous generalized claims but no substance.

Lol. I should clarify that comment was more to show my exasperation at that tatic not to tell you to shut it.

If i wanted to say that I would have.

You could put it into the tv so that when you get infront of it it reads your face and switches to your favourite channel or opens up your favourite web page. Goes to the recently saved programmes you haven't watched. It isn't need for museums. It's an option. Options are good. Life is full of them. Do you really need those portable speakers when you go on a tour of a museum. you could read the info on the exhibit your on but museums have them anyway and people use them as an alternative option to having a guide.

But you keep looking only on the negatives. that's why people like you don't work on new ideas. it doesn't matter how much substance someone gives you you deliberately wont see or accept it.
