"Gamers are embracing Windows 10"

"Gamers are embracing Windows 10"

"While Microsoft is correctly pointing to Windows 10’s relative success compared to its predecessors, there is one thing that really
does stand out. And it’s not 200 million active devices. It’s that gamers are clearly embracing Windows 10 in record numbers. Case in
point: Windows 10 is now the second-most-frequently-used OS on the Steam gaming service, with 34 percent of usage. It’s second only
to Windows 7, with 42 percent. Why is this important? Because gamers demand performance, and this is an implicit endorsement that,
yes, Microsoft has gotten it right."

Huh, I am surprised.

There is a preview here of DX12 (on Win10 only) and
why a gamer might be attracted. But this is from a year ago.
