How did we miss this tidbit?

Microsoft TV?

What does THIS say about all the chicken-little reports about the death of MC, or extenders, or whatever?

Interesting... although they categorize it as a "rumor"... sounds basically like all the functions of any media streamer, like an apple tv, just with a kinect included. I'd rather have me some DVR function .

It doesn't make sense to have DVR functionality in a product like this - it should be an extender that connects to your HTPC or something like the Ceton Q.
