"Microsoft announced that it has completed work on its Desktop Bridge, which is a software utility designed to port applications from older versions of Windows to Windows 10. Although the Desktop Bridge has several important features, it may negatively impact software performance overall."

I see an opportunity for those that have to run multiple OSs to finally pull it all together into a not nearly as complicated and time consuming effort.
