Well it is starting tomorrow.

Kinect will be on Oprah tomorrow and Ellen later this month.

will the be a live showing of kinect when its on OWS

Have no idea, but safe to assume that it will be a live demo.  Microsoft wants to be able to show Oprah over and over trying this out.  http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/press/controller-free-games-launch-november,1506402.html

 

As for what they are marketing.  The purpose of Kinect is to sell more Xbox 360s it is not to sell the Kinect standalone device to existing Xbox 360 owners, so this is a Marketing campaign to sell more Xbox 360s.  More Xbox 360s will mean more software of all types for existing 360 owners.
