Simular VR: Lenses and Schematics

While I love Linux and run it on my home stuff, at work it’s going to basically have to run Windows. Is that going to be an option ever?

If Microsoft decides to give us access to the APIs to implement a window manager (however you'd do that on Windows...), possible. As is, would require a significant redesign of our approach.

That being said, tethered mode will be Windows compatible.

By and large, having access to Windows APIs is rarely a problem. Since Vista they have locked down the OS a bit so you may have to ask for more permissions (or straight admin). More importantly is: are all APIs you need documented? You can still use undocumented calls but they won't be stable.

Replacement 'window managers' were a bit of a craze years ago. I remember running a version of OpenSTEP.
