Hands-on with the Windows answer to Apple’s Vision Pro – Computerworld

That’s one of the most significant downsides to this setup — that we’re talking about a two-dimensional desktop. You won’t be using an immersive VR application like Google Earth VR over Windows Mixed Reality link. You’ll just get access to the same standard two-dimensional applications you use on your Windows desktop. (There are other solutions for using PC VR apps with a Quest headset, but Mixed Reality Link doesn’t simplify the process.)

Compared to other mixed-reality headset platforms, the fact that you’re just dealing with your PC’s desktop is also an advantage. There’s no need to set up your productivity workflow on a new device — you’re just getting access to the desktop interface you already use. So, if you do want this sort of interface for productivity or PC desktop use in general, good news: It’s here, and you can get it today for a few hundred bucks!

Personally, I’ve been writing this entire article with Microsoft Word floating in front of my face while wearing the headset. And, while it worked really well, I’m looking forward to removing the headset and giving my face a break.
