What features were actually promised which are now absent from the current design brief?

How about that video where the mom drives sitting and the dad changes her car's wheels crouching?

Or using it as a remote control, remote controls' purpose is to control devices without having to get up.

Falls under the umbrella of tech demo. For instance I have never seen anyone call upon Nvidia to produce a game with the same visuals as Dawn, Dusk etc. If they never produce a game like the tech demo it doesn't mean they have done anything wrong.

Btw you can use it as a remote whilst sitting.

Tech demo? So it should show what that tech actually does. But it doesn't.

About using it as remote controle while sitting, are you meaning using voice commands or gestures?

Edit: again, I'm not meaning it's a failure, I mean MS should be more honest and push Kinect for all the things it's good or even the best at. This way it could be a huge success without making some user feel cheated and pissing them off. It's not a tech problem, it's just the same old problem of MS' usual attitude.
