It's not free anymore last I recall, and a quick check seems to imply this is still the case.

It's also trivially slower than windows 7/8.1 but gently caress reality amirite guys? Microsoft is an exquisite flower that needs our undying devotion.

I'm curious about this stuff generally so I read it, but did you even really read this article? Like even that article says at the end it's basically equivalent performance in most regards, and Win10 seems to barely edge to the top on the games' FPS charts.

Oh, I thought you meant "trivially, it is slower".

But still, it very much seems to me like the margins are small and varied enough in most of those that's it's kind of a toss up as to whether it's meaningful as a performance indicator over a larger data set. This is even more telling when you consider it to be slower when it is slower than either other operating system, and not only when it is slower than both. Also it's not consistent which one is fastest/slowest on most of those tests.

And I'm not using 7zip or winrar constantly enough to really be concerned about even a 25% dip in applications of that sort either vs basically everything else. Neither are most people I'd imagine.

The main factor that is unstated would be DX12 vs DX11 performance re: video games.

I'm the guy that doesn't know what a straw man is.

It's what pirates use for target practice.
