Any plans to allow the hardware to work with other operating systems?

So cool! I can now buy Kinect and use it to my PC. Thanks to MS for bringing up Kinect to Windows based PC.

There is a sort of near mode accessory for the 360 (www.ebay.com/.../120810051654) and it puts a lens over the camera that allows you to use the Kinect in much smaller spaces like small apartments. Just a thought for those making the comments on here.

I see multiple hacked together methods to control windows using a Kinect. Is there an "official" method?

is desperately needed for the 360. I don't understand MS's un-willingness to make the Kinect a viable product for apartment dwellers and people with small living spaces. My current Kinect is near unusable with 6ft of distance between it and the play area. They are saying this is fixed with a firmware update so PC's user can enjoy, why not with existing owners whom's Kinect is collecting dust??

It's very disappointing to know that this won't work with the Xbox 360.

I realize that the Windows platform is different from the Xbox platform but this difference should only affect the way these devices interface with the Kinnect. To be honest I don't know how Kinnect functions internally but I am trying to understand why it can't act like an independent entity (something like the HDD or the Wireless Controller) and leave the platform differences to the devices.

If this is because of technical limitations then it's understandable but if this is really due to revenues streams like what Michael pointed out it's terrible.
