Microsoft to launch 4K webcams in 2019
Hmm think Windows Hello here? A biometric authentication system can use your face, iris, and fingerprint, among other things, to log in on your Windows 10. Now it seems that Microsoft has a number of 4K webcams ready for next year.
The news is spread by Paul Thurrott, and yes a Windows Hello webcam under the Surface brand name sounds plausible:
For Windows 10 users, one new Microsoft’s webcam will provide Windows Hello-based authentication, marking the first time the firm has provided this capability on a standalone camera. To date, Microsoft has provided Windows Hello functionality via the camera systems built into its Surface PCs only.On Xbox One, this webcam could provide a much-missed feature from the Kinect, the ill-fated peripheral that is no longer sold with that console: Users will be able to sign-in automatically simply by moving in front of the camera. This will work with multiple users, too, so that friends or family members can join an in-session game session.
Microsoft’s new webcams might be tied in some way to the new USB-C-based webcam that it will ship alongside Surface Hub 2 later this year as well. That device has multiple USB-C ports around its periphery so that you can mount a single camera where you like, or use multiple cameras. I’ve been told that one Microsoft webcam will be enterprise-focused, and I’m wondering if this isn’t, in fact, the same camera that will be used with Surface Hub 2. Certainly, a Surface-branded webcam with Windows Hello capabilities makes a lot of sense.

Most Europe can stream upload 4K without problems. Probably most eastern Asia too.
As an example, in Spain more than 80% of homes have FTTH availability, and the minimum you can get is 50/50 Mbps (the most common speeds are 300/300 and 600/600). Always unlimited data on home connections. Even the slowest speed is more than enough for 4K streaming.
Most ISPs throughout the world can allow you to download 1080p, but most are not capable of uploading 1080p without major quality losses. So yes, this argument is still very much valid.

In conclusion, just because the US, Canada, Mexico, etc don't have general fast speed internet availability doesn't mean that the rest of the world can't enjoy 4k streaming.

The moment you realize that they are thinking their OS is fixed from being broken and they still getting into hardware and/or peripherals thing instead of becoming more credible and reliable..
