For those that are pulling it in via WU, I highly recommend doing a cleanup on your system first. Uninstall unused programs and bloatware. Disable unneeded startup processes. Run several malware scanners. Basically just make sure the existing windows is running good before you start the upgrade. I was up most of the night last night fixing failed upgrades to get them ready for this morning.

Obviously the 10+ years of Linux hardware and software reviews are a ploy to actually promote Windows 10. Luckily, you saw right through all that.

Comparing OpenGL performance between Windows 10 and Linux is largely academic. DirectX 12 is the real bread and butter of Windows 10 and it no doubt destroys OpenGL (any driver implementation of it) when it comes to drawcall performance. We'll have to wait for Vulkan to have anything comparable.

I wouldn't say it's better... There aren't many changes except the UI, and it got even uglier. The settings application is ridiculously ugly and plain. And now half of the UI has ClearType and the other (apps) has only grayscale font AA, which is very annoying and doesn't seem consistent. But Steam runs on it, that's the only reason I boot Windows nowadays.

Well, now it at least does not looks like awful unusable shit like Win8 has been. In fact it reminds me ... okay, it now looks more or less similar to XFCE theme I've been using last 5 years or so. Though my windows captions are looking better to my taste - win10 still got these primitive and ugly captions similar to win8.
So, I'm sorry, Microsoft, but you're too late, too proprietary and hell knows what you would do with next version of windows again. So I would stay with Linux. It also allows me to build custom embedded systems, etc. Its both fun and profit. Not something one can easily do with Windows at all. Internet of things awaits. And it wouldn't be windows based for sure. Yeah, another battle for future techs MS going to lose.

So there is a catch... http://www.cnbc.com/2015/07/30/windo...solitaire.html
I guess that means you won't be benchmarking Solitaire
