For Windows Mixed Reality to go mainstream Microsoft should partner up with the NFL, UFC, and popular music tours to get noticed.
This week Microsoft released the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update to over 500 million PCs. One of the hallmark features that's included in every release for free is the Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) experience.
