It Began With Kinect

Our big family Christmas gift (i.e. the gift for the whole family) last year was a new TV for the family room and an Xbox Kinect to attach to it.  I'm not a big gamer, but when the Wii came out I played more games in one week than I'd played in the prior ten years, and I can tell you that Kinect is even better.  There aren't many games for it yet, but that's just a matter of time.  All of that is to tell you why I think the video of a BBC story about Microsoft that I've pasted below (found via bookofjoe) should not be seen as merely a PR stunt for the company that burdened us with Office.  Methinks the next few years are going to bring us gadgets that make an iPad look like an abacus.
