Still wondering how they plan to differentiate Windows Pro from Home. Worried that since they are pulling ReFS from Pro that Storage Spaces and Hyper-V will be next. Both of which I use and depend on.

I just took a look at GParted's site, but it can only detect ReFS, but not do anything with it.
GParted -- Features
I was thinking maybe GParted would be a work around, but alas... nope.
Pulling ReFS was a surprise though. I don't remember MS just removing a feature from an edition before.
I suppose that is the future - features can be removed on a whim (and at short notice) to push people to pay to upgrade to workstation.
It would be OK if workstation had any interesting new features but poaching them from Pro is a bit cheeky. You'd be upset if you bought Pro because you wanted ability to format ReFS only to have it vanish certainly.
An idea for those of you, who do want to keep using ReFS:
Get yourself a Win10 Pro installation media now, keep it safe, do a clean install and then you can create your ReFS partitions(do this off line), then reimage your C: partition, and you will be able to read and write to it. The change is, you cannot create is all.
