I wonder if any of these HMD's will be compatible with Rift or Vive applications and if not natively is there a way to get it done like revive.

Even if they are not compatible someone would likely create a program that would allow/force these to work. I have an Oculus which is pretty cool and I'm happy with my purchase but I'd like to see a more mass adoption.

The Steam ecosystem is pretty loose with regards to the hardware, so I wouldn't expect a problem there. The big question is will you be able to run content from steam or if MS only allows UWP applications. I could totally see MS locking it down. The only advantage there is that it would likely result in good xbox support. But boo to locking hardware to software platforms.
