Windows 10 is adding an Ultimate Performance mode for pros

Will it still have adverts and all that candy crush shit in the start menu?

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."

Gonna be interesting to see benchmarks especially after seeing how little the "Game" mode did

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.

Windows 10 ruined my 8 GB RAM laptop. The battery life's gone shit and performance down the drain. Windows 8.1 was way better, strictly relatively.

They should start with a barely acceptable performance mode.
