Why is windows 8 good? I want a small fast OS that absolutely maxes out the hardware leaving perhaps 7.5GB of memory for games. Windows 8 is pure shit to be honest. Is this going to form the basis of new marketing;

'Xbox One the only console with a bloated operating system!'

I've just checked the size of my windows 7 directory on this computer - 21GB of crap! No doubt windows 8 is even worse. You'll never sell me a console on the basis of windows being the operating system. I don't want direct x 12 either I want something like mantle accessing the graphics hardware at a low level for maximum performance.

Micrsoft just seem to be streaming out all this total crap about the xbox one and yet a simple look at reviews shows how hopeless the xbone is at matching ps4 resolutions or frame rates.

Its like someone at Microsoft has realised they have lost the war on hardware and now they have taken the fight to software with the OS and graphics API.
