Very impressive, with every post you become an even bigger troll.

They didn't pump half a million into, "a shovelware filled peripheral." That pumped half a BILLION. The Kinect is gonna sell a shit ton of units. On top of that, it'll boost console and software sales. I'm sure MS has plenty to spend on games as well.

I'm confused about the Ensemble Situation. Perhaps MS felt they didn't need a studio that was pretty much dedicated to creating RTS games. However, Robot Entertainment which is former employees of Ensemble are working on Age of Empires Online. Perhaps they also wanted to leave so they can do whatever projects they desired.

That would be great If I could get a cut of each Kinect sold, but alas I cannot. As for age of empires, mmo being pumped into its veins was the last thing I needed to see. 

I'm not sure what your point is. I mean you were bitching about how they spend their money now you're pretending you don't care because you're not financilly involved? Lets just move on.

In regards to Age of Empires, the moral of the story is MS still has them working on AoE. Which could potentially lead to them working on AoE 4. They just aren't a studio owned by MS anymore.
