I'm beta testing the GeForceNOW and it's phenomenal! I have only had 1 disconnect in the 30+ hours I've played on it and it streams games from your "cloud rig" at 1080 and with very few flaws. Occasional millisecond distortion from time to time but gone within a second. As an I.T. pro, like others, I'm particular about the success of the tech. I didn't think this would be that great but I was wrong. GeForceNOW is indeed outstanding in both theory and practice.

MS is too late for this plus, they've damaged their gaming rep beyond repair by pumping great games onto a shitty, closed, limited platform that is Windows 10 Store "games". I wouldn't trust MS game-related ANYTHING going forward, nor would I ever buy or put faith into MS hardware ever again. Surface Pro, Surface Book, Precision mouse..........all absolute crap with way too many reported problems that surpass the 21% mark of failure.
