A comment on Microsoft Has Stopped Manufacturing The Kinect. Parent comment
Microsoft could have taken the outcry about the bundling 2 ways:
1) Make the Kinect awesome with awesome software, and make those people wish they had gotten it bundled.
2) Fall on their sword and assume that when people don't want to be _forced_ into something is also means that they don't want to choose it ever.
They obviously chose option 2, but I think option 1 would have served them better.
