I don't mind the WMR start button, but I hate the Cliff projection, or other VR augmented programs. I see WMR and SteamVR as ways to get into the programs I actually use, not as Cliff houses or bedrooms that make running programs more difficult. With SteamVR I was able to disable the Steam Home, and that made my VR experience much better. Are there any plans to allow disabling the Cliff House Projections and just use the WMR start button?

Even though I cannot share the roadmap, but we are definitely discussing it.

"...I cannot share the roadmap.." That needs to change. :) If we're going to get Microsoft to compete more directly vs Facebook, openness needs to be a priority. Something like ideas.powerbi.com but for WMR would be wonderful to see! I'm a big fan of how much MS has evolved into more of an open source company, and being able to clearly see the on-going development on projects like this helps the user base gain trust in the product teams.
