Microsoft is making the same mistake as Apple; they call something Pro but in an effort to appear "not boring" they make it a mass market product that neglects almost entirely the Pro workflow.

Windows 2k Pro was an actual workstation OS. It’s a shame that they’ve diluted Pro for the mass market as you’ve stated.

The only silver lining is WSL, but it’s a toy at best, not a fully featured POSIX-compliant development environment.
