Michael (alan1998):
Does windows 10 include any significant performance boosts?

Most of the current "Virtual Desktop", I think will be stupid since VirtualBox, Virtual PC etc are already out.

Well, it runs much better than Window 8.1 in my VMs on the same specs.

I think that's more wishful thinking than actual fact since windows 8 was already pretty optimized.
I've installed it on a separate partition on the same drive as Windows 8.1. I really find no speed difference between
the two OS.
That said, I haven't run any tests to confirm or deny that perception.
To me those types of tests really mean very little.
Just like my AV it's actual real world usage that determines what I think of the product. :)
