Have you noticed how hokey the picture with the girl is?

If not, look at how the shadows fall in the picture. She is not a human.

As to these headsets ... they, by design, are bigoted to the human population who do NOT have to wear reading glasses, or multi-lens face-fitting frames.

If they had announced up front that they were going to bring porn to a whole new level, they would have met their targets for conversion to Win10, without having to resort to the coercion and involuntary upgrades.

Will the installation be mandatory, max out all resources even if never used, and make most hardware obsolete, including peripherals?

This will be as successful as 3D television was.

They have got to make this work with something the size of Google Glass.

I like my ViewMaster-ish VR headset, but I’ve found out that I can only use it for about 20 minutes before it actually starts to make me sleepy.

This simulation would never work for me using a similar headset.

Touch UI failed on W8, Voice UI failed on W10, so hey, if you're Microsoft, why not go for the ultimate failed UI: the 3D holographic UI!

The OS is not supposed to BE the application, it's job is RUN the application and stay the hell out of the way otherwise. That's what nearly 100% of enterprise users, government users, small and medium business users, and home business users want.

Microsoft has run so far off the rails, they'll never get back on the tracks:

Looks like fun, actually. Display is always miles ahead of I/O, though.

I can just hear that sexy Cortana voice now: "Drill, you want those sports scores? Drop and give me ten, and do thirty laps around the room. You want FR, you gotta strangle three virtual commies first. And don't even ask me what you're going to have to do to surf those pr0n websites..."

Oh brother. A “solution” in search of a problem.

Thanks for the ping.

Win 10... yawn... not in my house.
