Thank you, now we are on subject. I forgot about Harrison statement now that you found it concerning Kinect. Context is key here as well. Harrison is talking about removing Kinect bundled with the X1. It was already known before his statement that you do not have to have Kinect connected as this was posted June 19 2013 which talks about the whole switch in X1 policy. Also its probably the closes MS was going to give as a apology on the issue.

As for March Whitten, he was just reiterating the policy changed months ago.
As to the bolded part, isn't Kinect still integrated. The essential part we have not arrived at as we need a few more years to see if MS continue to develop and expand Kinect features.
As for the 24 hour check, the link I provided is your official letter from MS on the subject.

Oh no you don't, he said Xbox One IS Kinect, they aren't separate. It's as essential to the console as the chips, blu ray, RAM, power supply, etc. because they are all apart of the platform ecosystem i.e. they're what make up the package you call "Xbox One" (the guts of the system). Meaning that if you removed any one of them, Xbox One doesn't work. If that's not what he meant, then that means if I get rid of the CPU, the XBone will still work since the "platform ecosystem" has parts you can just toss out, apparently.
And the link you provided was the flip of the switch. Prior to that, they said it can't be done because the console was built around DRM.

Ok, I accept his terminalogy stating Kinect is the X1 and proof that more than one person made this statement from MS.
@ Bolded: I made this statement already. Only one person stated that MS could not remove the DRM and that was Larry Hryb. No one else within the company made such a statement. Also MS did not just flip a switch as it took a sizable patch on day one to make it happen.
