I thought Apple OSX was Windows 10 Ultimate performance mode for professionals.. What other than dentist office xray and Auto-cad has anyone used it for professional reasons beyond word? I mean dont you set up a linux box or use a Mac to do stuff that wrings out your pc?
Did I just read "nice performance you have there, it would be a shame if anything were to happen to it"? In other words, unless this is some truly groundbreaking way of going to ludicrous speed, my bet is "we're renaming High Power (or removing, unless you pay for the ultimate version), and introducing another, weaker set of settings named High Power."
A couple of years ago I would have written this kind of thing off as anti-M$ shilling, but the passive-aggressive authoritarianism if 10 had changed my mind. How has computing gotten so bad that most general purpose machines have an actively harmful, much hated OS forced onto them?
So would I, but alas, that's the current predicament. Trust me, I would be really happy for a Microsoft that actually listens for an answer to "where do you want to go today?"
I agree, I worked in IT and was the last one to move from 8.1 to 10. I loved 8.1, it was rock solid. People on my team were always complaining about Windows 10 and I'm just sittin' here with my rock solid stable OS like "amirite?"
If removing "features" improves performance, one has to wonder how much overhead those features have.
If I remove the UI/window manager from Linux and run software from the command line, I don't see a massive performance boost. That's not to say I would run a server with the UI, but it's not like I'm seeing a 100% improvement or anything. Thus, there must be some difference between the acceptable overhead of Linux vs. Windows.
It just makes me think that Windows continues to add features as long as that n+1 feature doesn't slow down the PC, and thus doesn't stop until the PC is slowed down. Thus, every Windows OS will have a maximal amount of overhead.
