From the Kinect wikipedia article - Maybe this time they will use it to determine if adverts re being watched - "Privacy advocates contended that the increased amount of data which could be collected with the new Kinect (such as a person's eye movements, heart rate, and mood) could be used for targeted advertising. Reports also surfaced regarding recent Microsoft patents involving Kinect, such as a DRM system based on detecting the number of viewers in a room, and tracking viewing habits by awarding achievements for watching television programs and advertising."
Well, actually the Sky Live cam uses the Kinect technology in the form of a Microsoft Azure DK (named aptly Azure Kinect), which also embraces data collection, hence what the Microsoft involvement is all about.
