One problem that I think that can happen is that there are no official drivers for Linux and MAC. Microsoft should give a solution to this. Although I found that there is a project called OpenKinect that seems to have advanced work. http://openkinect.org/wiki/Main_Page However as mentioned, to support Kinect and similar devices should not be a priority actually.
