Short version: only webcams that encode using YUY2 will work with the anniversary edition. Anything that uses MJPEG or H264 won't. Microsoft claims it's for performance reasons.
Fun fact: YUY2 was developed internally at Microsoft.
End result: Are you a company that wants to make a webcam that works with Windows 10? Time to pony up some patent royalty cash!
Welcome to the world of monopolies and mandatory updates. #wexit- @mcscx@quitter.se repeated this.
