I used to be a CS:GO gamer, so I have tons of wierdo bios settings etc to reduce input lag and DPC latency.
I dont have new hardware. 3570k @ 4,8ghz and a gigabyte UD3H. I took this screen with 5 fans open in Chrome, Tidal playing music and JRiver open.

Hmm...can't add an image. Or I don't know how to...
With about 10 tabs in Chrome, Foobar2000 playing a FLAC, VNC to my Linux box, Steam and LatencyMon, latency was below 151 microseconds. Still suitable for real-time audio.
Biggest offenders were Foobar2000 and WindowsDefender.

Am I in the minority of loving Windows 10?

From the admittedly limited time I spent with it I thought it was fine, but didn't see anything particularly tempting me to upgrade from W8.1 with Start Is Back installed. The half and half start menu is certainly an improvement over the start screen, but I still don't care at all about the live tiles, or using any modern apps, and I have no interest in Cortana whatsoever. I'll probably roll my Win machines over to it eventually once the majority of remaining bugs have been dealt with and all of the necessary drivers are in place, but I'm certainly in no hurry, and my main office machine will be staying put with Linux Mint LTS.
