Normally when you think of Windows 10 you associate it with
your home computer and have your Windows 7 Pro version taking care of business
at the office. In the old days of Windows there was Windows Server and Windows
Workstation which implied that the Workstation version was made to be at your
desk at work.
Last week Microsoft accidentally released a version to
testers described as ““Windows 10 Pro for Workstation” which has some advanced features that are more
suitable to power users and higher horsepower PCs and can support up to 4 CPUs
and up to 6TB of RAM.
Other features include support for Microsoft’s Resilient
file system (ReFS) which offers fault tolerance and support for larger
volumes. Also included is the SMBDirect
protocol which is used for file sharing and high throughput, low latency, and
low CPU usage when connecting to network shares.
This new version might be the determining factor for
companies to make the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 since it looks like
it will offer some nice enhancements for those who need a more powerful
operating system on more heavy duty hardware to get the job done.
