Microsoft is coming out with a gaming technology that not only uses facial recognition but also recognizes hand and feet motion.

Think Wii sports without the remote.

I've seen a video demo of that, I think, maybe two weeks ago. Pretty cool, although to be honest, I'd feel like a complete dweeb dancing around like that in front of a computer. But then, I'm 58 and don't look nearly so buff doing silly things as I used to... :)

What do you think about the "reset" feature mentioned in the article? I've noticed (as has just about everyone else who runs Windows) that their systems slow down to about half-speed over the course of a year. It's accumulated garbage, Registry junk, disk fragmentation (unless you defrag regularly), buildup of background tasks, and so forth.

Will a "reset" do the trick? I find the idea rather interesting, since it would save me my ritual "reload Windows from scratch every so often".

Here's a gif of the demo. It's a cat petting game.
