1-What is the Life cycle policy for the Azure Kinect hardware? 2-Will the Azure Kinect become available for sale in more countries?

Question

Dear all,

To judge whether our company wants to opt for the Azure Kinect DK for depth sensing, I'm reading into the life cycle management and availability.
Could you help me out with the following questions?

1a. Does the Azure Kinect hardware follow the same life cycle policy as the software ('Modern Lifecycle Policy')?
1b. Do you have an indication for how long the Azure Kinect will be sold before it becomes End-Of-Life?
2. Does Microsoft intend to expand the number of countries in which the Azure Kinect DK is sold?

Thank you in advance for your time.
Kind regards,
Sjors Coenders
