Microsoft Will Fab Windows 10 Edition specifically for high-end PCs
It seems that Microsoft might be working on a Windows 10 pro edition that has been specifically optimized for PC workstations. This Windows 10 Pro version would be able to run four processors and would get Microsoft’s ReFS file system.
This particular version of Windows 10 will be named: ‘Windows 10 Pro for Workstation PCs’. The information became public after a twitter user made some MS slides. The user responded to other users who were analyzing an internal Windows 10 build, ‘Pro for Advanced PCs’, which Microsoft accidently released to testers, reports myce today.
This enthusiast Workstation mode would bring maximum capacity on heavy workloads. The ReFS filesystem would help the OS better to handle large datasets. ReFS is already in use in Windows Server 2012 and 2016 and was designed to be next generation file system after NTFS.

Hopefully MS will add more bloatware to Windows 10 as it clearly needs more.

Really?
Is this the first step to Windows for Workstations per core licensing model? Oh why did IBM have to fail with OS/2 and why has Linux failed to become a viable mainstream desktop alternative?

I think it is per socket, not core.
Best aspect about this ReFS according to wikipedia,

Because consumers are too lazy to put the effort in and want everything to be plug and forget.

Its nice that MS is doing this. I'm sure that alot of workstation users who need more than 2 Processors would have said about time they did this no need for us to spend 1000 bucks on an OS. Too bad MS wouldn't fab a gaming edition of Windows 10 that have less bloat rather than have that built-in gaming mode. I mean look at Linux there are certain Linux distros that are geared towards gaming.
