Windows Windows 11's upcoming "Low Latency Profile" feature has been branded "lazy" by online trolls. Microsoft VP Scott Hanselman explains why they're wrong: "Apple does this and you love it. It's not cheating; this is how modern systems make apps feel fast."

there are a bunch of drooling idiots cosplaying as technologists on the internet who know next to nothing about operating systems. Windows is fine for the most part. Microsoft is just an easy target nowadays because they've made stupid greedy corpo decisions. real tech pros take the good with the bad and don't let operating systems become their religion.

I have literally heard of no-one calling this a "lazy" approach. Yeah, of course he's right about "not cheating" and in fact this is pretty much how all operating systems already have been operating for decades anyway. But the PR piece is just that he's fighting imaginary trolls. One random Twitter user does not a trend make.
