Nah, raresita, Microsoft is intending for all of us to buy Hololens to use with Skype for Business, after M$ requires Win 10/Skype as the only approved platforms for video calls.

I wonder what happens when other countries start hacking our video calls, boring as they are?

It could really spice up a meeting to get a death threat from the jihadis in the middle of a Monday morning sales meeting.

There’s no requirement for video or even audio when using Skype. You can have an entire meeting just doing a presentation and making a direct-dial phone call. Given the nature of the Windows kernel, they can’t just disable support for every platform except the Hololens. That would require the entire OS be re-engineered.

I’ve not seen anything to indicate the development of the Hololens as anything more than a gaming competitor, but I agree that the applications for business could be interesting.
