Early look at Windows 10 on new MacBook says it actually runs more smoothly than OS X

“One of the first people to try Windows 10 on the new Retina MacBook says that it actually runs more smoothly than OS X,” Ben Lovejoy reports for 9to5Mac. “The comment was made by Computer Science major Alex King, who tried upgrading his Boot Camp installation of Windows 8.1 to the preview of Windows 10.”

“Here’s the real kicker: it’s fast,” Alex King writes. “It’s smooth. It renders at 60FPS unless you have a lot going on. It’s unequivocally better than performance on OS X, further leading me to believe that Apple really needs to overhaul how animations are done. Even when I turn Transparency off in OS X, Mission Control isn’t completely smooth. Here, even after some Aero Glass transparency has been added in, everything is smooth. It’s remarkable, and it makes me believe in the 12-inch MacBook more than ever before.”
