I suspect the company was immediately inundated with "helpful" legal advice when this went to press.

While everyone at HN (and probably the Plurk founders) would settle and go back to writing tech, suing Microsoft is every trial lawyer's dream. I think it's only fair for Microsoft to settle since they did have the service up for a few days but a full lawsuit is clearly OTL.

That said, I'm sure both companies will come out unscathed. The one group I see being hurt by this incident are the Chinese contractors. There were a large number of posts here and on /. stereotyping Chinese hackers as cheaters immediately after this incident.

Really, people, think about what you're saying.

From the video it appears that the UI lags noticeably behind the user's actual motion. A friend who has demoed Natal mentioned it suffers from a minor lag as well.

This strikes me as a major problem when one is expecting the screen view to reflect their current position rather than their future position. For precision tasks it is akin to giving your mouse cursor acceleration and then training yourself to decelerate at the correct thresholds.

Rejection augmented with Moore's Law? I am officially doomed.
