Title: Seriously, Microsoft?

Trying to become the Big Brother of multimedia? Oh, I do hope they're only joking.

If the XBOX consoles are going to have everyone of their kinect devices fitted with this violation of privacy then they are going to lose sales big-time. And not only that but technogeeks will simply change out those cameras so they can't be monitored by Microshaft.

But if I were to guess I'd say it's probably their attempt to court content creators into exclusivity deals. Media companies love how extreme Apple's DRM is, Microsoft is just trying to be even more draconian.
