Went ahead and tried this out right away. As usual everything Microsoft turns in is garbage. The app even after multiple attempts and reading the sparse instructions over again, failed to deliver a 360 of anything, much less the room I was in. The best part of this app is the logo. Other than that, it's completely useless. I'm still not sure what the benchmark is for completion, performance or quality is for Microsoft, but it must be extremely low.
