Vive's works with multiple people in the same space, Rift's does not. So there is a relevance to someone considering an HDM today.

There are VR experiences were 2+ people are in the same sim in the same space. There are also VR spaces (arcades, tradeshows) where if there are 2 rifts near each other (2 adjacent booths) the rifts interfere with each other

The Vive also interferes if two different sets are setup such that the lighthouses overlap. Two of my coworkers had to setup a curtain because of it.
You don't need 2 lighthouses for multiple vives
Indeed but that's not always feasible and still doesn't alter the fact that the lighthouses interfere with one another if the laser scanned regions overlap. Hence the curtain.
