Johnny Lee Chung, the wii controller hacker guy, ended up working for Microsoft.

I’m cautiously optimistic about the kinect working on PCs, because it’s USB based, and started off life as a product designed for Windows, and MS bought out that company and it evolved into Natal then Kinect. I’m not massively keen on it as a games/controller, but I think the hacking ecosystem around it will be epic – it’s a very cheap device for the hardware that’s inside it.
