Very surprised to see no other comments related to Vive. Search and you'll find rave reviews of the Vive, which apparently launches this Christmas, and made the incredible decision to natively support full-room (15x15 feet) virtual reality. I can't find a bad review for this thing.

Valve probably negotiated one heck of a deal, but fact remains that HTC finds themselves in an existential strategic partnership with one of the strongest, most capable high-tech companies in the world. Valve is surely committed to the Vive and HTC couldn't dream of a better partner. This matters more than you'd think from the coverage of HTC's troubles.

I hope they don't scrap it - or maybe spin it off or something.
