"Until thorough benchmarking is completed by me or someone else, I think the best way to put it is this: Task View often runs at 60FPS, while Mission Control never runs at 60FPS" So, it seems that in this case a beta version of Windows works best than MacOS
I'm now tempted to buy a Macbook Pro so I can install Windows 10!
The Cortana feature is slick and I'm tempted to cancel my Amazon Echo order and get a Surface (which has a free Windows 10 upgrade).
I was never a fan of the OSX Dock. When switching between apps, I always misclick and startup a new program accidentally. I prefer the traditional windows dock. Two features I would surely miss if I switch back to Windows would be in-app window switching (cmd ~) and the placement of of the cmd key on the Mac keyboard versus the awkward stretching of my pinky finger to reach the control key on Windows.

I have a hard time understanding the equivalence. Is task view supposed to be representative of all windows programs ? Is Mission Control supposed to be the fastest OSX program ? I don't use windows So I'll also have to ask, are these programs actually comparable in what they do ?
Yes, Task View and Mission Control are similar. I don't think that this speed comparison is very useful, but in my experience the graphics drivers under Windows are significantly better than on OSX or on Linux. (I run Ubuntu, OSX and Windows 10 on my retina MBP, and desktop graphics performance on Win10 is way better than the rest. By 'desktop graphics performance' I mean window management, scrolling of 2D content in…

I'm using Windows 8 on both a rMBP (~220 PPI) and a 4K 28" monitor in the office (~150 PPI). It has worked fine for awhile, the only problem are some legacy apps (e.g. font forge, the font installer, and oddly enough, BootCamp!).
I was on a Youtube binge last night watching Windows 10 videos. It looks really impressive. Automatically switching between tablet and desktop mode when you dock appears to actually work - perhaps it is possible to make a UI that works for both use cases!

Yes, but Win10 will also bring display-dependent scaling, i.e. you will able to manually set a different scaling level per display.
I ask because out of the specs the gpu seems integrated and quite low-power (for the resolution it runs at.)
