Have you guys thought of trying it on Linux and macOS to compare the way each system would deal with the same situation?

Are they using the Creator Ready or the Game Ready drivers? Did they compare the two in some video that I've lost? -

We did a test with Core 2 Duo yesterday (4GB, 320GB). Wow!!! Like putting a SSD on the machine. Most of our machines are Core i3 with 4GB, 500GB HDD, the difference is unbelievable. And that without disabling any service an, without using DWS. After doing that it even improves.

The 32bit limitation is working as a tremendous advantage since people can work now. And the changes are reducing stress (not kidding). Just the time to change all the machine is the problem.

Hi again! Keeping whomever (or whoever. I don't get it - not good at English) is interested in the Windows 10 bul$%#$#. The machines that we alreay made the change (64bit to 32bit) the performance is really much better. For us here it makes all the difference for the end users since all they are doing is office stuff. They use M$ Office, Browsers, some specific per sector softwares and an ERP based on .NET Framework. Everything is performing much better with less memory. Figure that!

Hi. Thanks. Some of that we were already disabling manually and using DWS (Destroy Windows 10 Spying). It helped but nothing compared to the architecture change. The Compatibility Inventory Collector and the Windows Management Instrumentation I don't remember. I'll check. We also disable Superfetch, Security Central, Offline Files, Cortana, services from Google Chrome, Mozilla, Adobe Reader and Skype Updater

What I meant is a HUGE gain in performance when we change from 64bit to 32bit. And doesn't matter if the machine ha 4GB, 8GB, 12GB or 16GB of RAM. At the IT department we are using Linux to handle the RAM. For the users we are make the change on the most problematic machines.

Hi guys! We are not using Windows 10 Insider Preview at our company. Actually we are starting to change the version of Windows 10 from 64bit to 32bit since the difference is LOUD. I entered in contact with Microsoft via Chat to make about the OEM licences and they said there is no restriction. We can use the same licence since we are just changing architecture on the same machine (hardware).

Hello everyone! After the advent of the infamous Windows 10 (doesn't matter v1511 or v1607), IT problems and headaches have skyrocketed. Couple of times I heard Luke saying the annoyance of trying to benchmark machines with the instability of Windows 10. I have to say that it can get much worse when you have Active Directory. Our machines after join the Active Directory are now unbearable to login and use. Even when using software like DisableWinTracking, Spybot Anti-beacon etc, Microsoft services some times take almost 100% of disk and/or memory usage, and arround 90% (!!) of CPU usage most at login time and randomly during the day. Logins are much worst than boot times ( sometimes taking more than 5 minutes to release the desktop even after it is show to the user in a good day). You guys don't notice that much because (that's a guess) because Core i3 computer with 4Gb of ram and HDD (in the majority of the machines) are not that common outside Brazil (where I live). But, even with some Core i5 and i7 the situation is not good. We are doing some testing disabling more Windows 10 annoying service and scheduled tasks, which helped (using Download Destroy Windows 10 Spying recommended by Barnacules Nerdgasm helped very much). Doing tests two things came to our attention: The same machines that we tested with Windows 10 32bit performed so much better than with Windows 10 64bit, Of course we loose some RAM but the performance is like downgrading to Windows 7; In the IT department, more specifically the support team, we installed Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE) and we are using Windows 10 on virtual machines (VM). Which is impressive since even using Windows 10 64bit inside a VM with less available RAM the performance is better. How is your experience with this ... work of art of Microsoft?

"Right on time". For Finder hold down Option and right click the infamous Finder icon on the dock. Using pure macOS I think is not a good experience, installing some third party aids helps: iTerm, xtrafinder (does not work anymore (I guess), BetterSnapTool, Alfred (Amazing! even now with the improvements in Spotlight), Homebrew and some I can't remmenber right now ...

Using a Mac mini (Mid 2011) with an AKG K511, a Superlux HD681, a Microsoft Wired 600 and the mouse with worst ergonomics of this dimension: Apple's Magic Mouse. And my game PC with a CMStorm Devastator Gaming Gear Combo.

Hi! I have a fine R7 260X. Working fine except when games are really poorly optimize (Arkham Knight someone?) - Metal Gear Solid V is a great example of very well optimized game. Runs flawlessly!. So as I bought MGSV form a very good friend, and his machine doesn't support modern games (really not), I wish I could give him my graphics card if I win a new one. So, let's randomness decide who wins.

I will extract that keyboard from the stone, or just plain rob from little Arthur's hand, because here in Brazil it is really expensive.

On Windows I've replaced The Start Menu With ClassicShell (Is Free). Good to know that third parties are doing better job than Microsoft. I also have Startisback (its Payed). Both really do not crash as Microsoft's new Start Menu.

Can finally get rid of my Mac Mini and my PC. Space over my home desk again!!! Replacing my exteme-economic-energy-efficient-PC-for-an-almost-cheap-person for another one.
