#2"We currently support 45 editions of Windows. Patches for 41 of them are available now through Windows Update."
Wow. I have to admit, that number larger than I would have guessed. (I probably would have said 20.) But ultimately not too surprising.

#3Anyone know if there are performance impacts from the macOS updates released recently to address Spectre/Meltdown?

It seems so. Sooner or later people will post some benchmarks so we'll have more precise knowledge. At this point the statements from MS are a bit fuzzy.

#6I would really like to know exactly what compiler changes they made to mitigate Spectre.

more like "tldr: wait for benchmarks"
Or just do them yourself, like others did:

Fuzzy, yes. But they do declare that a lot of people will notice slow downs day to day.

#10>With Windows 10 on newer silicon (2016-era PCs with Skylake, Kabylake or newer CPU), benchmarks show single-digit slowdowns, but we don’t expect most users to notice a change because these percentages are reflected in milliseconds.
Then, I guess, I am glad I upgraded to 8700k and won't return it. I was upgrading from a 4770, but it seems that one is going to be even slower now.
