Its also stated in the reports that the netbooks are operating on Windows 8, which as been fully approved by Microsoft.
Microsoft announced during its CES ’12 keynote that Kinect for Windows will be released on February 1. The pc operated kit is expected to operate in a “near mode” which accurately detects movements within 50 centimetres. Its expected that additional laptops will be revealed starting in February after Microsoft publicly showcases Windows 8.
