There is no international, me-too pissing contest that the Indian government at the time is not involved with immediately. Providing basic services to the more than 600 million citizens who lack them? That is at the bottom of their priorities list.
As many have already mentioned, the problem with VR as currently delivered is that it has been ridiculously overhyped, and that it sucks to high heaven in too many aspects. Another one to add: wearing those visors and moving your hands in the air make you look like a complete dork. You'd better wear it in the privacy of your home, where no one can see what a dork you are. Let's wait twenty years or so, and we'll see.
The Indian government is always present in the me-too pissing contests. However, when it comes to providing basic services to the more than 600 million Indian citizens without access to them, the Indian government is consistently uninterested to become a me-too.

Why? There are many people out there who do not have the inclination, desire and capabilities to do so, but they still want to use a good product. Supercilious answers like yours make the open source developers communities come across as a bunch of sanctimonious assholes.
Wages may not be so low, but these efforts, if fruitful, would sure lower them. These companies want an excess of code monkeys; that is exactly the motivation behind these efforts and the push to get children to start coding as soon as possible.
Ask the PhoenixOS people to get their heads out of their assholes and come up with an installation mechanism that does not require having Windows already installed.
It will make no difference though to the more than 600 million Indian citizens who lack such basic facilities as running water, electricity and water - the Indian government, time and again, far more keen on engaging in international me-too, pissing contests than in tackling such mundane issues.
Why not just get a phone that does what you need, at a decent price, instead of getting the latest and greatest, at an extortionate price, which you do not need anyway for anything other than showing everybody how cool and rich you are? Let me rephrase that: to show everybody how pathetically stupid you are?
That was 1987. Turing was already recognized as one of the essential figures in the world of modern computing. I find it difficult to believe that this was not news then - and it wasn't.
New ideas/developments take hold when the dinosaurs that oppose them die. Our children and grand-children will smile just as we do when we learn about those 19th century proposals to limit the speeds of trains on the grounds that air might be sucked out of them, thus smothering the passengers.
I have a Samsung TV that I got a few years ago. It has not failed, but Samsung has been removing and adding apps at will, without my consent. Samsung is a bully of a company. I will never, ever buy another Samsung product of any kind.
Unless you are built like your average NBA player. Otherwise, you might just as well walk around with a T-shirt with the message "I am a complete dork".
What he regrets is they have caught him. Why do so many miscreants even bother to say that they regret what they have done, when it is obvious that what they regret is getting caught?

Kudos to the guys who came up with this. Like all great ideas, once explained everybody can grasp it.

If we wanted to use something like Chrome, we would use Chrome. This desire to copy Chrome is going to kill Firefox.

An AI system delivering well below what was promised. Must be a world first.

A pedantic, but nevertheless necessary, point: the ISS does not fly. It is in orbit around Earth - an altogether different thing.
What is a semi truck? Half truck, half... what?

Whereas Ernst Schroedinger's letters are both.
Who is Ernst Schroedinger? Do you mean Erwin Schrödinger?

MS is inviting all these people to do MS's work for free, and for MS's benefit. What an honor.
They are not as bad as the NHS (national health service) in the UK which is still running unpatched Windows XP on nearly all their critical machines.
Unsurprising, coming from a country that insists in cutting off its nose to spite its own face. Over, and over again.
That is easy. I would have been impressed had MS managed to make to less secure.

If it is the whole catalog, all the time, yes. If there are any strings attached, a big resounding no. Your move, Disney.
What next? A label that tells you what to eat, when you should eat it, and how you should eat it?
Teach them to think, and mental discipline. We do not need more code monkeys.
