It just isn't going to happen though, is it? Far too expensive for a webcam with a 320x240 infrared camera tacked on.

MS seems to have this misguided view that they can attract a similar userbase as Apple has who blindly buy anything at any price with an Apple logo on it. Just because they finaly did a decent job on Windows 7 doesn't erase the memory of their forced greed, which is different to Apple because people want to buy from them.
