You will notice that Microsoft has not responded since June.

No reply for such an extended time suggests there is a problem with respect to the future direction of the Kinect. It would have been easy to give us a one sentence qualifier like "delayed until" or "cancelled because". If the Kinect team can't reply it may be time to start requesting that Kinect drivers become open sourced so the community can move this forward.
