I agree. This sounds great, and people keep citing "older" software as the reason they don't want virtualization, which makes no sense. Old software is exactly where you won't see a performance difference. Do people think that "virtualization" only means running a whole other desktop environment in a window or something? You can run virtualized and native apps side-by-side and most users wouldn't be able to see the difference. This seems like a good way for Microsoft to free itself from legacy while maintaining compatibility, including for games, for people who need it.

> Old software is exactly where you won't see a performance difference. For 'current' old software yes, because Moore's Law held until a few years back, but now we can no longer count on that. So a game from this year will presumably become 'legacy' by 2021, but will hardware power have advanced sufficiently that it will run on 2021 virtualized container with nearly the same FPS as today on bare metal?
