I only happened to stumble across that site whilst doing some research on modding my lads Xbox controller and on reflection thought it would be unlikely to just work that easily as apps and games would no doubt need to be written especially for kinect. However, my curiosity arroused I did a bit more research and it seems an official version for Windows will be released on February 1, 2012.
It also seems that, according to Wiki, Microsoft released a non-commercial Kinect software development kit for Windows 7 on June 16, 2011, with a commercial version following at a later date. This SDK will allow .NET developers to write Kinecting apps in C++/CLI, C#, or Visual Basic .NET.
So maybe, if IC had a mind, they could write support for Kinect that would provide interaction with the cockpit, head tracking and even voice commands. Which I think would be pretty cool.
