Gamers, what u are looking in windows gamer edition?

[nwkb]

and u dont want in os

[Fluffy BUNNY]

What I would like to see in a windows gamer edition:

1) strip down and removal of outdated support for the OS. Such as, floppy drive support, RS-232 & PS/2 ports. Also getting rid of features unnecessary to gaming such as fax and printer support. This should lower the amount of system resources that the computer needs. Allowing the game being able to access that extra system resources to increase game preformance.

2) More Xbox integration. Even tho I'm solely a PC gamer, I do know some PC games that also play consoles. I think Microsoft for the next Xbox should should require cross play if the dev decides to port the game over to PC. Along with a free copy, or 75-90% discounted PC version. Along with the ability to use the same save game files on both PC and Xbox. I haven't owned a console since 2006, this will change my mind. Also putting up all the main games of halo on Steam or other platform would be nice too.

3) Adding non Microsoft controller support. This one might be tricky, as it may have some legal issues. Such as adding Play Station and Nintendo controller support. I think tho Sony/ Nintendo may take them to court saying they stole their tech.

I wasn't aware a gamer edition of Windows was coming out.

UHM, PS2 support will stay. It uses it's own "channel" and doesn't share bandwidth with the PCI lanes line USB does.

PS2 keyboards and mice are still used and always will be stop trying to shut it down.

Ever notice how it's on the top of the input block? Ever follow the circuit and notice how it goes directly to the CPU? Yeah....

PS2 is literally ZERO lag, provides multiple keystrokes and input (vs refreshrate of usb) in the same moment and has 100% native support. even if you chooch your pci whatever or usb controller on your mobo.

Proper compatibility for games that ran on older OS's.

I want to offer my opinion but Microsoft won't compensate me for it.

No spy sh*t that currently pervades in Windows 10, your usual documents, pictures, videos, music, literally everything else can go, compatibility for older games, support for all the direct x versions, clean simple without the crap.

Would require a redesigned kernal, which I doubt M$ is doing. Many Linux versions make use of M$ kernal flaws to do things such as see the music on windows machines who are on the same network, even with file sharing disabled.

I expect nothing and want nothing. Gaming editions don't, or rarely exist. Just like there is no such thing as a "gaming laptop" and "gaming chair", there is no such thing as a gaming OS. It's all just a (successful) marketing idea and strategy.

This Windows 10 "Gamer" Edition will exist because Microsoft considers that not enough gamers use Windows 10. It's not because they care about gamers, or because they suddenly found a way to make Windows 10 considerably better for games.

"Gamer Edition" OS exist (though not "officially" until now), since the XP era and the funny thing is that they are not gaming editions, but just versions with removed features and services. Usually those "fan-made" versions had injected trojans that left the OS inaccessible over time.

If you want your "gamer edition" OS, maybe just disable services that you don't need. Anybody with admin privileges can do that. If people are smart enough to know that Windows 10 is spyware (even if the only thing they did to come to that conclusion was read an article on the Internet), they should be smart enough to know how to disable a service.

Weeeeeelll.

Make it a lighter weight os, kinda like linux, but with all the support for directx stuff.

Make a comfortable UI that would let me acssess all my games in a reasonable manner.

Built-in controller support for sony ds3 and ds4 controllers would be great.

Just my 2c, but the whole point of owning a PC is that it can do almost anything and almost everything, the second you start to gimp that, the finer the already very fine line blurs between a PC and a console.

Seriously if you want a stripped down version of Windows, just buy the next Xbox console.

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

just optimise it more for gaming and allow the user to turn off non-gaming features himself.

.... say considering they are trying to get consoles to do more and more nowandays, aren't they just under powered and restricted pcs?

Yes there is. PlayStation's 1, 2 and 3's OS. PS4's OS branches out a bit tho

Ironically, I'd love the "Windows Gamer Edition" to remove the Game Bar feature.
