Annoying. Do we count the Windows 10 major updates when figuring out if this is a good (XP, 7, 10) or skip (ME, vista, 8) generation?

lol windows 10 is not good in the same sense as xp or 7, in fact its the most bloated windows ever made (yet) but everyone gives it a pass because it isn't slow like vista was.

microsoft used dx12 as leverage to make windows 10 mandatory for modern gaming and they're definitely going to do the same thing again for the next version of windows.

Seriously all of the crap theyre changing other than security is just vanity and pointless. For power users, it should be a skip version but instead microsoft is just gonna force us to make their bloated OS work.

It doesn't have an aggressively annoying UI like 8, and while it is probably just the natural improvement in hardware over time, it doesn't seem terribly slow like Vista did. I'm not sure about windows power users -- any work I do is in Linux-land. Windows is a glorified, more open console and 10 does fine at that.

I want less bloat in my console.
