Same machine running a vanilla Windows 7 install vs a vanilla Windows 10, Win 7 is noticeably faster, like ridiculously faster. The performance – no improvement on low end hardware. In fact, things have started to go back towards Windows 7 in Windows 10, what with the return to the Start Menu. The stuff that matters, the stuff that makes things better for the end user – not much has really changed in Windows. If I open a project created in 2007 in Visual Studio 2003, it’ll open, upgrade the runtime and more than likely compile and run with no changes. If you ignore the Syntactic sugar added over the last 10 years, the C# language is pretty much identical. Someone (Lucus Maximus?) will probably pop up and start shouting about how it’s not – but really it is.
When I open Visual Studio and start a new project, the code I’m writing is almost identical to the code I could have written in 2007 – close enough to 10 years ago. Every piece of evidence points this way, and a few years from now, you’ll look back upon your comments today and wonder “how could I have been so blind?”. Apple is going to move the Mac line to its own Ax processors, and the operating system they’ll run is iOS++. Add to that the insider information you get from people working at Apple, who confirm that 95% of Apple’s attention, funds, and focus is on iOS and the iPhone, and the picture is crystal clear – whether people are willing to accept it or not. And that new filesystem everybody keeps bringing up? Designed entirely for watchOS and iOS – it’s a freebie that it will also be used on OS X. Macs are no longer being updated, OS X has been getting nothing but iOS castoffs since the release of the iPhone, and virtually every big name in iOS/OS X development is deeply worried about the future of the Mac. Oh Thom, it’s funny when you latch onto a theory with no evidence and then keep trying to push it every article. In addition, Windows got an entirely new user interface.Īs a side project, Windows has also been turned into a console operating system, a phone operating system, and Microsoft ported it to ARM. In addition, virtually the entire Windows NT kernel and low-level systems have been either completely rewritten or cleaned up in a massive project that took over a decade to complete.
New audio stack, new networking stack, new graphics stack, entirely new application platform including associated tooling, entirely new command line, and so on, and so forth. It went from XP > Vista > 7 > 8 > 10, and in the process (the past 10 years or so), virtually every single subsystem was rewritten or close to rewritten. You clearly have no clue what’s been going on with Windows these past 10-15 years. This time it’s “OS X is in maintenance mode” which is about as true as Windows and Linux being in maintenance mode.
