Not surprised, but the Kinekt SDK for windows breaks some functions that older applications are using for some things, in addition to breaking support for multiple Kinekts on one PC, which makes it less useful to *me* for doing things like mocap.

I don't even understand why the Kinect v2 is offered at $200 for development. Shouldn't they be getting it out for free (or cheap) so people can makes apps that use it? You can't even put the Kinect in webcam mode without doing complicated workarounds. Potential's there, but it requires coding skills and free time to use. Womp!
