"Microsoft's Mixed Reality Platform Axed, Meta Quest Steps In as Savior"

Microsoft has announced the deprecation of Windows Mixed Reality, signaling the end of the Windows-based VR ecosystem. However, Microsoft's VR vision will continue on Meta Quest and Meta's VR platform. The company has recently launched Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Meta Quest, as well as Xbox Cloud Gaming (beta) on the headsets. While Microsoft's VR ambitions may not have materialized as initially envisioned, the company is leveraging Meta's VR ecosystem to bring its apps and services to users without the need to maintain its own VR platform.
