I was expecting something like 20-30% of difference not 200-300%.

Microsoft really needs to release a gaming version of Windows without the bloat. I only use Windows to launch Steam these days.

I want games to run optimally too, but I don't think they should release a gaming version of Windows. Ultimately gamers want to do more with their PC's than just game.

They should focus on optimizing the current OS to more optimally run games rather than segmenting the OS.
