Honestly, Im really suprised official support lasted this long. Microsoft largely gave up on VR years ago.

that hype train was fun though. The standard microsoft loop.

  • They build a crappy version
  • Put no actual investment in it
  • Drop the idea
  • Someone else comes along, makes a version that's great, and microsoft gets jealous
  • Microsoft throws 1000% of their resources behind the technology which they are now behind in
  • They cram the product down everyone's throats, not realizing how much they're annoying their base
  • Realizing defeat, they quietly kill off the product and act like it never happened.

Windows Tiles, Windows Phone, Zune, Tablets, AI, take your pick

NGL x86-64 tablets are legitimately much more useful than their competition.

I got a second hand surface go 2 recently and it's the perfect companion device. I wish marvel unlimited and the like had apps on windows but that doesn't do me from using a different comic app and building up my own library anyway, probably for the better long term.

I just found out about mouse without borders yesterday and now my surface go 2 is like a portable monitor for my dev laptop when it's not docked in my study. But because it's still technically it's own thing and not just an extended desktop, I can have documentation on it and scroll with the touchscreen when needed without messing up the mouse on the laptop screen, but if i need to properly interact with the tablet I can just use the mouse and keyboard on my laptop too.
