Who would that be? Ars Technica, The Verge, Paul Thurrott etc. have all tried it and I consider them pretty legit and definitely not afraid to criticize Microsoft.

Generally people from the VR community. I don't consider either Ars Technica and The Verge to have a lot of credibility, especially with hype pieces like:
Hands-on: Microsoft's HoloLens is flat-out magical | Ars Technica
It has the same problem as the Oculus, the resolution has to be 4k, or more due to how close you are to the screen.
If the glasses work like a projector that's even worse.
We're looking at another decade to we get close to the sharpness of that demo video for anything complex.
The only way we can go faster is if someone reinvents the wheel, and if that happens that will effect every entertainment device not just VR, or holo imagery.
Not to mention how we move data.

I don't think you read either of those sites if you think they are hype for Microsoft.

I'm not making the claim that Ars Technica is in the bag for Microsoft. I'm making the claim that it's a hype piece written to generate as many hits as possible by lauding a new technology that few people (all press from what I can tell and none with VR/AR credentials?) have tried.

HTC / Steam VR effort announced today:HTC Re Vive
Valves made by HTC | The Verge
What are the expectations for game compatibility with multiple VR headsets looming? Games going to end up branded with their flavor of VR support and exclusively only support them, or too soon to tell?

I think they are ahead of themselves if they want to start doing specific VR applications and standards - VR is to young and fragile - the fragmentation is what has kept it from growing and OR attempted to fix- its going backwards the other way.

I hope that OVR is wildly successful, partners up with Valve and makes VR standards for other people to follow. With OVR/Valve doing all the research there will be a low entry cost for making a VR product, which means a lot of people trying a lot of different things. OVR could stifle that competition by locking everything down apple style, but they claim they don't want to.
I think Valve will always push for openness and VR standards because their $$ is from Steam and they want Steam to have maximum market share, so they're happy to work with Oculus et all to get their products compatible with Steam.
