Not long ago, at the mall, I found myself standing outside of the Microsoft Store which is strategically built directly across from the Apple Store. I stood at the window and watched the people playing in front of the Kinect demo. I made a point to look mostly at the players and the strange sort…

I wish _so_ badly that Microsoft would read this and do something worthwhile with the Xbox Kinect to change the face of modern computing. The technology to do things the likes of which we’ve seen in _Minority Report_ is sitting right in front of them, and yet they are doing _[almost](http://www.macgasm.net/2011/06/03/editorial-windows-8-stacks-apple-googles-offerings/)_ nothing about it. The exception, of course, is Windows 8 and the fact that it’s based on simple gestures that could _easily_ be adapted to the Kinect, and that they’ve mentioned bringing the Kinect into future desktop Windows releases.
