| Based upon the demos I've seen, including that given by head muppet Gates, the idea is totally crap. When controlling my PC using a mouse, I only need to move my hand very short distances. So, why the hell would I want to start having to sweep my hand all the way across a large LCD display? Gesturing like someone practising karate? They can't possibly be serious!
