Your comparison between phones and VR/AR is reasonable but a bit different as when windows phones were discontinued, Microsoft had pretty much lost the phone os race. Also the windows phones sucked, I’ve used them…

IMO microsoft gave vr/ar a fair chance. They might have been early, but if we are eg. a full decade off must buy VR, then it might not be worth waiting.

Seems like hollywood. Dangling career opportunities as a reward for constenting to unwanted advances etc.

Fortunately the nuclear reactor can be operated for >50 years :)

Can’t critizise something that has never been tried! Also we already got a comment critizising capitalism as a counter argument :D
