Typical BigCo BS. Although I hear some good things coming out of other parts of Microsoft, so let's not make a blanket groan.

Microsoft has applied/gotten a patent for the XBox Kinect in your living room to count the number of people watching a pay-per-view video and shut it off if the number exceeds the number of viewers on the license of the video you are watching.
They are innovating the wrong way (away from the customer as opposed to towards what the customer needs)
Sadly, gestures and voice are going to be the emerging interfaces in the living room (see the TVs Samsung is rolling out, the LEAP, thew Kinect, etc.) and these are the intended unintended consequences.
No one wants better advertising and no one wants their devices ratting them out
