Well according to information out there they did get permition to tweak Windows to make it much more sutible for gaming handhelds.
that sucks, make windows lightweight for all of us.
Apparently it will come to all desktops.
x to doubt its actually gonna be lightweight
As per Microsoft, they apparently saved 2 GBs of RAM by preventing productivity apps (bloat) from loading in their Big Picture mode. Now, it's another entirely different thing about how they are handling CPU/VRAM for the games. Let's see how that goes.
There was a Youtuber who showed that Windows is bloated, not because of background apps, but because of not using CPU properly (incorrect governor settings). The Youtuber used a script to set it right and windows got a boost in battery life. This kind of makes sense because I've seen none of the "bloat-free" Windows ISOs provide a significant performance boost over the standard OS.
Bloat caused by bundled apps is different than bloat caused by the OS being a hodgepodge mess of ancient features, half baked new "features", and spyware.
Of course clean ISOs still install the horseshit known as Microsoft Windows; most of the crap comes from windows itself.
Please source me on this!
