An once that becomes generally available operating systems will eat the bandwidth in an instance and any speed-up to be gained on a desktop will be completely negated.

It seems like we're stuck at a pre-set level of latency, which is just within what people tolerate. I was watching a video of someone running Windows 3.11 and notice that the windows closes instantly, which on Windows 10 and 11 I've never seen there NOT be a small delay between the user clicking close and the window disappearing.
