How-to: Successfully install Kinect on Windows

Getting started with my new Kinect and the PC.

Some observations about the interfaces of the XBox games I've tried so far:
1. Slight delay when viewing the white "ghost" on the screen and with gestures.
2. Some buttons use a "mouse over and wait" timer to activate rather than a hand grab.
3. Multi-gesture movements using hands and feet are common.
4. Holding arm positions for a couple seconds signify things such as options menus.

Looking to translate this to an effective gesture and multi-touch interface for the PC, rather than just mapping keystrokes.
