Microsoft Is Killing Its Windows Mixed Reality VR Platform (www.uploadvr.com)

Microsoft announced this week that Windows Mixed Reality is now officially deprecated, and will be "removed in a future release of Windows". This deprecation includes both the required Mixed Reality Portal application and the SteamVR driver. That means that when this removal happens, existing owners of Windows MR headsets will need to use older versions of Windows to continue using them.

My reverb g2 has been in a box for almost a year but I'm firing it up this week. I found WMR to be unnecessary, but maybe things changed since then.

This is what has me worried. I’m pretty sure that SteamVR should work without the WMR for Steam plugin, and it’ll be good to lose the overhead of WMR Home running in the background, but what if they bork it?
