comes with unique support for server grade PC hardware and is designed to meet demanding needs of mission critical and compute intensive workloads." Which features are those, you ask? Microsoft's blog post (Opens in a new window) announcing the new OS version states, "Windows 10 Pro for workstations. Now the market is getting a little more crowded, with the seemingly redundant "Windows 10 Pro for Workstations." Up until now, we've had Windows 10 Home for consumers, Windows 10 Pro for your professional and workstation markets, and Windows 10 Enterprise for the largest volume customers. The lines between workstations and desktops have been blurring steadily for years, and Microsoft's latest OS announcement is going to muck the difference up a bit more. In later years, after Wintel buried its non-x86 competitors, it still implied a system meant for professional and business applications, with an emphasis on stability and reliability. If you had a workstation, it meant you ran a CPU based on a real ISA, like MIPS, SPARC, or Alpha.
