Microsoft Will Fab Windows 10 Edition specifically for high-end PCs

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.

Using a computer shouldn't have to be an effort, they're here to make life easier for us, so the less you need to do to get them working the better, plus 90% of computer owners haven't got a clue

That said, dumbing them down to the point MS are trying is going a bit far

MS don't have a choice because of how poplar smartphones are now compared to 10 years ago. In order to attract customers to the Windows 'brand', they need to develop software that looks and feels like a mobile device. Still doesn't mean I like what they are doing but I can at least understand it from a business aspect.

Windows Phone was dead before it was released, they're basing their PC OS on a dead/dying platform, dumb

Well they have Xbox Live too. Both can be intergrated to offer better customisation. While at the same time making cross pc game development easier.

I still think they should have kept PC with a PC OS, none of this mobile / touch UI / app rubbish, keep that for touch devices / consoles where big and colourful works

And tbh, tablet mode is a joke, why have a tablet mode when you are designing the whole OS for touch anyway? What's the point in a big stupid start menu with huge tiles if you also have a tablet mode?

Same with the settings panel, leave normal mode (PC mode) with classic normal UI, and change everything to the new touch UI for tablet mode
