Microsoft XBox One Kinect Will Not Work On Windows PCs 198
symbolset writes "Ars is reporting that Microsoft XBox One Kinect will not work on Windows PCs. It uses a proprietary connector and an adaptor will not be available. If you want Kinect for your PC you will need to buy a 'Kinect for Windows' product. Although the Kinect 1.0 for XBox 360 also had a proprietary connector it came with a USB adaptor for compatibility with older versions of the 360 that lacked the new proprietary port and PC compatibility was quickly hacked up by third parties."

I'm confused, if a connector designed by one company and used only by that company is not a proprietary connector, what is?
Well, if you're a proper Apple fanboi, it's a Universal Connector!
