You can already download microsofts toolkit and plug it into your computer through usb and utilize it through sdk. Take in mind its a webcam , then a IR cam , and a laser rangefinder so it is a multi sensor setup you would be writing code for.

@Hazbot software development takes time. Proper planning and architecting modules, etc.. Because we have over 100 features in development, there is no ETA for the Kinect - but I'm certain you will know when it's released Because it'll be awesome!

Nice
