Indeed, CRTs is mandatory.

Agree! But IF you are on a CRT monitor, then turning it off will make you waste time. After turning it back on, it can take up to 30 minutes before the screen is exactly as it was calibrated. Thus a screensaver can be really handy. On LCDs we don't have this problem.

Sorry, but that is not totally true.
LCD's need to run a bit(warm up) too for people like photographers or graphics designers, using/needing 100% color space/gamut.
All color calibration software tells you to let your screen warm up for 15 - 30 minutes before calibration, even for LCD or OLED.

Resilient File System (ReFS)

Creation ability will be available in the following editions only: Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Pro for Workstations.

Creation ability will be removed from all other editions. All other editions will have Read and Write ability.

I was always under the impression there was an advantage to using ReFS for the volume where you store your Virtual Machines. We still have Hyper-V and I worry they will remove that next as I use that for testing.

I am not sure what the benefit of Windows Pro anymore. They seem to be stripping out the features that used to differentiate it from Home. It used to have full backup and now that is gone.

Hello Isaac, :)

If you meant Windows Backup and System Image, then they are still in Windows 10 for now.

I thought I read it was being removed in Fall Creators Update?

What I see in Settings on latest Win10 IP build:

So system image is being removed?

It will be deprecated instead of removed, so it could still be buried. We'll have to wait and see.

It's deprecated, but it doesn't have an 'X' in the 'Removed' column in post #1. That means MS recommend you use something better, but it's still there (for the Fall Creators Update, at least). You'd get to it with the 'Go to Backup and Restore (Windows 7)' link in Berton's Insiders screenshot. Let's hope they don't hide that before the public release.

I think I am more concerned about the removal of ReFS
