Hi there
Nice to think that - but my machine runs fast enough already -- I'm not sure whether any further optimisation of the OS (build 10240) would be noticeable at all. -- at least on my computers.
How would Ms for example Optimise the OS so a Video conversion at the highest resolution would run much faster than currently --things like Handbrake ripping a Blu Ray DVD to an Mp4 / Mkv file depend far more on the Hardware than the actual efficiency of the OS.
These days probably the BEST thing you can do (always assuming there's sufficient RAM in the machine --which there is of course nowadays with modern computers) is to use SSD's where possible for the OS and temporary storage for things like photo shop / video editing and for the rest get the FASTEST HDD's you can afford.
Applications can also be better written -- that's usually 100% outside the control of the OS.
I'll bet even with the FASTEST OS in the world with the fastest HDD's a really inefficient application will still kill a system.
For instance loads of older applications still perform entire screen / video re-writes - when a little bit of extra care in the coding could create a better app that only needed to refresh those parts of the screen that had actually CHANGED.
