idk, the first generation kinects weren't compatible with pcs. that's why there was a special windows version. i wouldn't be surprised if the xbone kinects were the same way.

That's not true though the kinect worked fine on pcs including linuxes and everything. Microsoft have different skus for xb360 controllers for oc and for xb360, they just love skus

the windows Kinect was supposedly better hardware and higher precision or something cause it was mainly intended for research projects. who knows if that was true
