Now that Xbox One is out, you probably want to speak to your console. By saying "Xbox," Kinect opens up a menu that lets you speak a command at it. As noted in our review, you have to be very specific with your commands, otherwise Xbox might not understand you. Here's an overview of all the things you can say to your Kinect:

Do note that if you want to launch a game, you need to say the full title. So, "Forza" won't work, but "Forza Motorsport 5" will. Also, do remember that Kinect cannot differentiate between voices. It won't work when multiple people are talking at the same time. So, if you want to use voice commands, make sure only one person is speaking at a given time.
