when they get good enough to let it be a good desktop interface i'll hack mine. ATM using the kinect is very minority report like many have side, swiping to different menus and controlling the screen in games is pretty nice, nicer than any motion sensing wii mote. or i would guess clone (ps3) ps3 ice cream cone is the only thing i don't have and dont' think i will.
