You know, reading this chart, I have this terribly paranoid feeling... what if PRISM was forcing Microsoft to find any means necessary to stick on that 24/7 internet connection? What better way to spy on people by having the Kinect on all the time, connected to the internet? And Microsoft was defending this feature so much despite it not being needed at all, that it just seemed absolutely bonkers of them to keep their guard up for so long. Granted, I don't have proof of this, but the government has done very sleazy things to spy on people before; I wouldn't put it past them on forcing a company to keep their 24/7 DRM.
