My DK2 will probably arrive in about 2 months and I already put together a gaming PC for it. This machine will probably only be used for gaming and nothing else btw.
Now I'm wondering if I should just install Windows 8 on it or if I should wait 2 more months and install the newest Windows 10 version then. I also considered Windows 7, but since it won't get support for DirectX 12 this is probably not the best idea.
So has anyone of you any experience with the current Windows 10 preview/demo and Oculus Rift? Are there any Demos that are not working or is everything fine?
So after scrapping OSX and Linux support to "focus on the main platform" and a freaking partnership with Microsoft they can't even keep up with the update cycle. Should have left the software Open Source so outside contribution and testing happen. That would have been better than the proprietary runtime and walled garden approach.
Yes I'm still bitter about the bait & switch that happened with OS support and open source.

On the roadmap for DK2, or will we have to wait for CV1 before we have Win10 support?
Isn't the Win10 preview builds good enough for Rift support, recent builds should have been good enough to make a compatible runtime work. I wonder what the delay is about because as far as I know Microsoft were supposed to be partnering with Oculus for native support.
I'm not upgrading until support is there, too much to lose. I can understand those of us who don't because of the projects that just won't work.

Windows 10 is RTM, the preview builds are over. I've been running it for over a week now. And still no Windows 10 support. I can remember they told us it would be supported natively in the final release, but hell no...nothing. At least give us an expected date for driver release or an in depth overview on the development of the drivers. But no...only a message that we have to be patient.....Sure I can wait, I have been waiting already, but please give us some real info.
Ive read that TH1 is possibly RTM but no one can say for 100% for sure. I personally don't think TH1 is RTM and I am expecting one more update. The funny thing MS used to call the final cuts RCs. MSDN member for decades.
What can be said for sure this is the core build. No one will argue that. Most HW companies already have cut win 10 drivers. AMD slipped win10 drivers in almost a month ago but you could only get them via windows 10 builds releases. AMD's site didn't express support until recently but it was there. I noticed this back around the release of 10162. My mother board drivers were stealth updated via MSI.
Here at <insert #1 PC manufacturer in the world> we have been ready for win 10 for months. After all MS came to us to collaborate.
I guess no one wanted to get caught with their pants down except <insert cutting edge pioneers of what we call VR today company>
10240 is RTM. All you will see are patches for 10240 from here on out. You should be able to get ISOs and do clean installs with the patches released so far for 10240 on the 29th. I am hoping Oculus plans to release the Windows 10 compatible runtime at the same point.
Kinda interesting MSDN still has "Windows 10 Enterprise Insider Preview 10074 (x64) - DVD (English)" Fast ring for the win I guess.
But you can bag:
SQL Server 2016 CTP2.2 (x64) - DVD (English) Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 (x86 and x64) - DVD (English) NET Framework 4.6 for Windows Vista SP2, 7 SP1, 8, 8.1, Windows Server 2008 SP2, 2008 R2 SP1, 2012 and 2012 R2 (x86 and x64) - Web Installer (Multiple Languages)
EDIT: And ohh yea this

The ball was dropped...
EDIT:
Could you imagine your DK2 arriving in the mail in the next couple of days on your brand new gamer system that you paid 2k for only to find ......queue the "you just lost the game show sound effect" Your equipments software is not supported by the manufacturer it came from.
