Windows Sandbox

wroot MasterMysterious You guys are probably right.  I use Linux/Mac for professional software development, and have Windows Home dual booted on a dev machine with a larger GPU to play games once in a while.  I treat the entire thing like a sandbox and log into nothing but my Microsoft account and Steam, so I have no use for Pro.  Obviously this is somewhat of an outlier use case, but there's got to be a lot of software professionals who just boot Windows for games.  I did not know it was based on Windows Containers (thank you!) but the requirements https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/system-requirements don't seem prohibitive, you'd have to try to buy a machine with less than 4G RAM these days and two virtual processors- I'm certainly missing some key insight you have here.  Oleg's point about the pro use is certainly valid, and yes probably much more common than home users who know enough to be worried about security.  Here's another use case- home users with significant savings (in the bank or investment account or ?).  Maybe these people know enough to be worried about security?  For me, I'd like to use Windows more- I like it just fine, but without an easy sandbox setup I'm just not comfortable using it for more than games.  Obviously I use docker a lot.  Maybe I'm proving your points, normal home users aren't going to use this haha...
