I'm sure over at Microsoft headquarters they think it's wonderfully clever. It connects you, get it? And spelling lit like kinetic--it just conveys such a sense of energy! Plus, it has 'kin' in it! Like family!
Eh, misfire in my opinion. People aren't looking for clever, layered names: something simple and memorable works better. 'Move' is a little forgetable and bland, but I'd still rank it way above 'Kinect'.
Plus, most people are not going to get the 'kinetic' associations, and will just think it's an intentionally misspelled version of 'connect' to appeal to teenagers or something dumb like that.
