PTSD kicks in :(
But seriously,this is pretty big if true and MS keeps killin it when it comes to OS features.
The same Alexa that passively records conversations.
Why anyone trusts this home assistant bullshit is beyond me.

Yeah hopefully some kind of accessory to help those of us with an X or an S and no Kinect adaptor!
115 minutes of assistants.
5 minutes of crackdown 3 coming q4 2020.
Ffs, just give me some fucking Perfect Dark and Halo.
But the microphone array in the Kinect is what makes this useful in the first place.
I think this is dope and I use a lot of smart home stuff already but putting this in a press conference seems like a really bad idea unless it's just a sentence or two that Phil says.
Not necessarily. They've always devoted a portion of their shows to dashboard features. As long as it's not the focus, there's nothing wrong with that.
Well Microsoft and Amazon are integrating Cortana and Alexa. Any Alexa or Cortana device in the future will be able to do both. So that isn't surprising.
Google is though. But you can do voice stuff in the YouTube app already.
tbh, any Google support on a Microsoft platform is always surprising to me. Outside of Chrome that is.
A lot of OEMs have shown PCs with Alexa integration at CES earlier this year. I assume Amazon hasn't finished the client yet.

Nah, I think this means you can use your echo to issue voice commands to Xbox. No Kinect required.
as we know in the case of apple vs amazon, amazon refused to sell apple tv cause it didn't have the amazon tv app on it. Could it be why amazon stopped selling sony made games?
Yes i know this is a stretch and a half

How really? There are more people with these smart speakers than Kinects, and the people that work on these dashboard features aren't making games. Heck, it probably costs MS close to nothing to do this considering they already have commands laid out.
Records conversations if you put your phone contacts into it to let it make phone calls.
People like home assistants for the same reason why people like technology in general — convenience.
I guess you don't have a smartphone then considering it's mobile (unlike home assistant speakers), has a microphone, a camera (most of them two cameras these days), and can connect to networks outside of just WiFi.
Awesome
Gonna be a big nope for me but good for those that want it.

If we've learned anything is that MS was 5 years ahead of it.
It's odd that since 2013 digital games and personal assistants have become common place now.
Who needs a kinect to mop up data?

Seems like a pretty big risk with these types of devices. I know that my Google Home used to activate itself even without being called a few times a week - it's pretty obvious when you enable the activation sound Accessibility option.
