Comment on Microsoft dives into the handheld gaming PC wars with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally

Not sure about diving in… More like dipping their toes. I think it’s great that they’re making windows more usable on different types of devices. To be honest though, all of this sounds like Windows 8, especially the bit about limiting background processes. People were pissed about it then, but I guess maybe now they’ll like it if it makes gaming better (and really, it probably makes everything better. There are so many background processes on my PC, it’s ridiculous).
I’d like to see a Microsoft branded handheld. I’m curious if it would be Xbox or Surface branded…

Supposedly they were working on an inhouse one, and then changed directions to just do software tweaks for other companies hardware instead.
It definitely needs some background process limiting, comparing official windows vs official steamOS on that Lenovo legion Go showed pretty terrible performance impact from running windows.
