Microsoft has stopped supporting WMR.

Please sign this petition to?open-source the software, so others can maintain it and prevent the perfectly good VR headsets becoming e-waste!

luckily we have Monado which keeps the headsets working (better than ever in some cases!)

Yes please.

It’s weird how they are abandoning this just as things appear to be picking back up.

That's the Microsoft way... It's right on brand for them. You can trust Microsoft to drop a product or technology they've been cultivating for years about five seconds before it becomes popular and massively profitable for everyone else.
