Managed languages are more efficient than ever
42
http://windows.Microsoft.com.NET Native Next generation compiler in the cloud Every Windows apps, only Windows app (right now) Apps use the standard C++ optimizer As optimizer performance improves, so does.Net native Apps with.Net bootstrapper Includes garbage collection There is no runtime This is machine code
43
Every Windows app will be compiled with.Net Native
44
http://windows.Microsoft.com Real benefits with.Net Native 50% faster average startup time 14% less average memory usage
45
.Net Native enables the platform to update at a faster cadence
