[Official] Kinect - Over 4 million units sold!


Recommended Posts

I'm going to make a guess here and say the new dash should scale to whatever res you have, I don't see why it wouldn't look fine at 1080p or 720p etc.

All I want is a native 1080p UI, the only console that has that is the PS3. PLEASE XBOX!

I have my current system set at 1080p and maybe it's just me but I think the dash looks fine. What's off with it?

I doubt Microsoft genuinely gives a **** if people bust the NDA. Its probably more a formality than anything. If they were worried about leaks, they would only be doing internal betas.

Is what I was thinking. Sending out packs they knew this was bound to happen somewhere I can't imagine MS to be that naive.

They do, that's why there is an NDA

MS is very serious about NDA's. They have NDA's for a reason. They don't want to give competitors the upper hand or advance information so that they can be successful with a new product. They also want to test it in a every day environment before they release it to the general public so that they have a quality product.

I also abide by my NDAs. I recommend others do as well.

Yes, that's whey every time its been broken during game betas in the past, they haven't done anything to anyone :rolleyes:

suuure... as far as you know... I can tell you it's different, but the NDA prevents me from telling you anything so. But I'm not going to be talking about the beta.

I'm not trying to tell you not to abide by them. I abide by them as well. I'm just saying I don't think they care as much as you guys are assuming when its this late in the game. Competitors can't have an upper hand regarding Kinect. Nobody else is making anything like it or could even remotely do anything with any information before November when it releases. They aren't stupid, they know information is going to get out there NDA or not.

I would agree with that.

Doesn't change the fact that if you DO break the NDA, they will find you and they will ban you and boot you from the beta

Yeah I've not particularly seen any evidence of that when it comes to their Xbox betas. They can ban you, sure, but they can ban you for anything else they want too and they usually don't resort to that unless there's hacking or cheating going on. Think about it, there's not much information they could actually care to hide anymore, so to ban anyone in this beta for putting that out there is just to lose $50/year unnecessarily. They just aren't going to do it.

    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
