Speaking with the bloggers at Kotaku, Microsoft's Alex Kipman explained that Kinect will never send photos of you gyrating to Dance Central or white-water rafting in Kinect Adventures back to Microsoft HQ. In fact, the only Kinect info that ever would be sent to Microsoft —  and only with your express permission — is anonymized troubleshooting data.


"By default we don't listen or look at anything," Kipman promises in the Kotaku post. "No data is ever sent back to Microsoft. Period. Full stop."



So what's the over/under on this being exposed as a bald faced lie? 6 months?
