Microsoft is shooting for significantly lower specs than Oculus and Vive. http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2016/12/08/microsoft-unveils-surprisingly-low-spec-requirements-vr-window-holographic/ http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2016/12/08/microsoft-unveils... You can run VR on cheaper computers, you just need to downgrade your expectations about what you hope to see. Oculus and Vive agreed on a high quality bar as their recommendation. I guess MS is going to shoot for simpler, more utilitarian apps.

That approach sounds good on paper, but when Microsoft have high persistence screens and lower refresh rate coupled with a computer that can drop frames users will feel awful. Lots of nausea. And then, once someone has a shitty time in VR it spoils them for it in the future. I showed my boss the rift DK1 and he's pretty against the whole system now, not to mentioned people he tells about it. There's a reason Oculus/Valve created a high bar, it's easy to get people turned off on it.
