Comment on Microsoft dives into the handheld gaming PC wars with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 week agoAnd uh also no, no, the SteamOS Benchmarks came out less than a week before this announcement.
I meant that they maybe used SteamOS (or a similar distribution) on whatever prototype they had to make some benchmarks to compare against stock Windows or their own Windows build.
But you seem to have better insight into the way they work.

Sorry, I edited in more details after you replied.
But uh yeah, as you yourself have said… MSFT is very good at being secretive and opaque… even internally, there is a massive culture of compartmentalizing information, to say nothing of outward facing info.
I would say that untill independent reviewers get their hands on these things to do teardowns and benchmarks, trust nothing, all their claims are just marketing BS.
Im not saying this version of Windows won’t be better than mainline Windows.
I am saying I’ll eat a sock if it ends up being even as efficient as SteamOS or Bazzite in a same hardware same game same settings frame rate test of 20ish modern games.
