If I understand correctly, non-Server editions of Windows have an artificial limit of 20 simultaneous incoming network connections. But I'm not sure if it's just an EULA thing, or it's only enforced in specific services (e.g. file/printer sharing, IIS), or if it's implemented at the network layer. If it's the latter, that would surely disqualify it from "server OS" status.

This limitation was removed in Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2, but you need to change it via a registry key: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/969710 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/969710 There are limits on the maximum number of requests in an SMB session, but these are defaults and can be configured by changing the MaxCmds for SMB 2.0 clients and MaxMpxCt on SMB 1.0 clients. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn567661(v=vs.85).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn...
