The Discussion

joaoalbuquerque Totally agree, I also think Windows Phone users will increase exponentially in 2012... Also, I hope to have one next year.
Nice show, Happy Holidays !

Richard.Hein Brian, you activated my Kinect and launched Zune Marketplace by talking about the Kinect dashboard updates.
That's my only major concern with it ... there should be a way to disable/enable voice from the dashboard using gestures, or even a more specific voice command combination. -
martinmine Dans face reminds me about an internet meme
Anyways, I do agree that there will be more of WP7 next year. At least I will receive my Nokia after new-year

Oops! Are you serious?

Jeany Can't wait for the new updates to be unleashed.

Richard.Hein Yup, serious ... but I did try rewinding the video and getting it to happen twice but couldn't duplicate it. It happens occasionally to me while watching TV or anything talking about the XBox.
