ALL upn/dlna clients, servers and controllers are linux. M$ had ONE product - Xbox360 - en passant, now obsoleted.
From what I have seen of the Kinect (admittedly only at mall
displays), I wouldn't call it "obsolete" - it is really a nifty piece of work.
Kinect, by being linked to the Xbox, had a noose and a millstone on it's neck. It was saved by independent hardware and software hacks.
It is one of the rare pieces of unintentionally useful stuff from the M$ garbage bin.
On the other hand, in that market I believe M$ is a distant third (after Nintendo and Sony in some order).
