Ms. LOFTIS (Microsoft): As an experienced creator, I’m very excited to see that people are so inspired that it was less than a week after the Kinect came out before they had started creating and thinking about what they could do.
FLATOW: So no one is going to get in trouble?
Mr. KIPMAN (Microsoft): Nope. Absolutely not.
Ms. LOFTIS (Microsoft): No.
FLATOW: You heard it right from the mouth of Microsoft.
