Xbox TV launching this holiday season
Xbox TV will use Bing and the Kinect voice commands to facilitate users' searches, a feature that Ballmer said separates Microsoft from previous, failed TV-peripheral attempts by other companies, such as Google and Apple. Van Baker, an analyst at Gartner, said that may not be as much of an advantage as Microsoft thinks. "Search is not discovery," he said. "Search as an answer to discovery implies you know what you're looking for. Most people have no idea what they're looking for."
A well-integrated streaming TV service is a wonderful idea, if it's implemented correctly -- we'll see if Microsoft has the magic formula (Wingardium televisiosa!) this holiday season.

KSIxSP33DDarkZeanon95 they r seriously building a tv u can talk to?.... from what i can tell this is amazing.... if it has a connect sensor built in i will deffinatly be buying 1!!!!!
facepalm no... you put kinect in to your tv and then you can do whatever you want... but it is going to be for some TV's not all...
See and that is where you fail. It is just an Xbox Live service not a TV feature. They are just making it so you can use your kinect to search.
