I still have Kinect1 for Xbox 360, and it is really amazing. Dance Central is great for learning how to dance and exercise. Kinect Party my kids play till this date.

When Microsoft released it one Christmas season it sold really well. 10 million units sold. It was a huge success.

Then Microsoft bundled it with XBox One but didn't include any killer Kinect games with it. That "killed" it more then anything else. Some people liked voice commands, but you don't buy Kinect for voice commands. If they would include newest Dance Central or some other killer title as part of the package, a lot more people would buy into it.

Personally I was waiting for such a game to buy XBox One, but it never came. Microsoft could have used Kinect to really differentiate themselves, like Sony is doing with VR, but instead they just dropped it.

Yeah, we are looking into it. Interactive provides great information to see what is really going on.

Should be back up now. Mostly... If you get page not found, new DNS record didn't propogate yet. You can still use dotnetfiddle-prod.cloudapp.net or 191.234.40.

Sorry for interruption. Lesson learned.

Thanks for the info. I thought changing Scale would keep original server and just add new ones. But I guess it is a bit more intrusive.

Small interruption. Looks like scaling to 2 servers on Azure to handle extra traffic crashed the original one.

Yeah we definitely looked at some Complify code and the blog post was helpful also.

Thanks for reporting it!

It works if you declare class first http://www.dotnetfiddle.net/IjtjcG

but not if u do initialization and call at the same time. Will take a look.

Yes, will be fixed by tomorrow. Thanks for reporting it.

We may look to add local storage sandbox for this.

Thanks for mentioning it. Will fix...

Yes, website passes Run requests to back-end worker processes which compile and execute code and return results back to website for display.

Yes, that sounds like a great idea. Will add it in next couple of days.

Using Azure cloud - medium Web Role server (2 x 1.6GHz CPU, 3.5GB RAM). It is set to auto-scaling so it should be adding new instances if first server is being swamped.

The jobs are done using Worker processes and there could be up to 20 of them running at the same time.

Yep. It is pretty amazing library.

Yes, all server-side using several worker agents.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Just because you have wife and kids doesn't mean much.

How much quality time can you afford to spend with them if you are trying to build a successful business at the same time?

What I found interesting was: "Founders tended to be middle-aged—40 years old on average—when they started their first companies.".

I always thought that starting a new company was driven by the fire of youth, but it seems like it is mid-life crisis that may also be responsible in many cases.
