US Army awards Microsoft with $480M HoloLens contract

I found the HoloLens SDK to be very confusing to develop apps on. I got to try out solidworks on HoloLens which was really cool. I feel like the collaborative aspects of AR in enterprise is pretty huge.

Not trying to be snarly but on HN there isn't a lot of discussion of MS, due to what feels like reasons not related to technology but political. I can see when some small project from google changes name but big news related to MS and very much about widespread technology adoption doesn't figure (except when its negative).

Now i don't mind but i am curious - is there a platform that is less politically inclined and has more tech related news?

I mean i hadn't even heard of hololens and only about Oculus etc and here they are doing 1/2 a billion dollar contracts. I don't want this to happen again...
