    I'm wouldn't be surprised if it was a fake "leak" orchestrated by Microsoft deliberately.
    People talking about the Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard and they gotta do something to make themselves look relevant still.

      The point is that "leak" is misleading. If it's MS informing us about one of their products, then it's not a "leak".
