Naturally, hoping this unlocks the possibility of using the kinect without any extra computing hardware on the robot.
It does, and I talked to another person earlier in the year that claimed it did (yes, I would say he was reliable). Kinect's USB protocol is pretty open, so even if WPILib doesn't support it in 2015, I bet it will in a later year or someone will write a library to communicate with it.
