What exactly do you get with Windows 8 Pro?

JMH · Apr 18, 2012

Summary: Windows 8 will come in only two retail flavors.
One is the base edition, with no fancy marketing label, nothing to say it’s a home or consumer edition.
So what do you get with the Pro edition?
The list of Pro-only features is short and to the point. No complex matrix required.

Hyper V, encryption, VHD support, and Remote desktop host. Thats enough to make me want Pro.

VHD is going to be my most favorited feature for sure, along with encrypting file system. :)

I KNEW Microsoft was working on a new Filesystem, based on the header files i've seen in later versions of Windows they had unused which was pointed towards a new protogon filesystem. I'd like to see what this is actually about...
