The reason, I've read, is that Win 10 checks to see if a library required by a program is already loaded and, if it is, it will use that rather than load an additional copy like previous versions of Windows do. For this reason it can sometimes be more efficient on lower spec machines. Agreed - the Metro GUI on Win 8 was truly nasty.
