Check out this quote from the Kinect for Windows FAQS. The Beta license was restrictive and did not allow for distribution of commercial applications. How does the license work with this release? The commercial license for this release authorizes development and distribution of commercial applications.

After watching this video on how a creative teacher is using the Kinect and a custom program to allow students to interact with graphs and charts I must admit that I am feeling a bit inspired.

One of our requirements was to implement basic HTTP authentication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication).

Proceeding after finding this library and use of their documentation I basic auth integrated quickly into the service.

Upon reviewing the change notes for this release there really only appears to be 2 changes. First, Canon added support for their latest EOS camera the Canon EOS 60D. Second they removed support for the antiquated Windows™<a href="http://itsmikebender.com/2010/10/canon-releases-the-edsdk-2-9-library/">&#160;&#160;[ Read More ]</a>]]></description>
