   Can you leave the goal-posts where they were?   
      
   Notice the original claim that there are "no Windows drivers" available for   
   Kinect.   
      
      -  "Look at Microsoft's own Kinect, which works with Linux, but for which   
   there are no Windows drivers."   
      
      
   Can Joe Sixpack use Kinect on Linux?
