As far as I know achieving this in labfreenect takes a good deal of work and calibration. Also, I've found OpenKinect to be a pain to install, and watched it kill my machine the last two times I've tried to install it on windows.
That sure is a mouthful haha. This is not that difficult with libfreenect, especially with OpenCV (for me, anyways). Besides, not real need for the RGB feed anyway. ;-)

libfreenect is a pain to install on Windows. It's cake on Linux, though.
