Running a virtual machine. Something you could do on Windows 7 Home Premium, without having to purchase a "Pro" edition.
My point is that they're slowly gating features behind their more Enterprise-y editions, which at some point won't be available to the general population. If they can force you to make a Microsoft account at some point, they will.
- emteycz 4y agoWasn't the Home Premium for the same price as Pro is now?
- BenjiWiebe 4y agoHome Premium is what came bundled with the computer that you bought at Best Buy/Walmart/wherever. You didn't need to pay for any upgrade at all, it was stock.
- emteycz 4y agoI thought that was Home Basic. Only the better specced PCs came with Home Premium (and you paid for it - it is included in the price, you could have the same PC without an OS cheaper).
