Well while I agree with that (should not over promise), there is a difference between Illumiroom and HoloLens.
HoloLens is announced as future viable product by Microsoft (they still need to keep their promise) while Illumiroom never was and Microsoft CLEARLY stated it was a demo/prototype from their R&D department. I do not believe Microsoft is well know for that anyway (announcing stuff and not doing them), like any other companies out there it happens sometime but they are not like over the average regarding this.
Lately, Google seems to be champion in that area actually :) (Google Glass, The Q thing, etc...)
But in no way I'm blamming them as it is a good way to try out things and see how the market/public will react to it before to take more risks. It also let us see very cool things being develop by those R&D dept.
In any case, I liked Illuminiroom concept to be honest :( So I wanted very much Microsoft to make it a real product but HoloLens will do
