Speaking of W10, there was another annoying W10 bug where if you started typing immediately after using the touchpad there was a random delay. If you care about latency and responsiveness, it makes you want to scream at the people who implement these features.

That's not a bug. It's some kind of feature by Symantec that can be disabled in the settings.

Haha, it never crossed my mind that someone would implement this purposely. I don't have a W10 laptop so I've only noticed this on other peoples machines.

I use this feature on my laptop. Without it I would accidentally touch the touchpad and insert characters where there aren't supposed to be.
