Basically the title. As of version 24H2, is Enterprise still the most feature rich edition of Windows 11?
I ask this because Microsoft is adding new stuff to W11 all the time.

ProWS is a superset of Pro with HW support for multiple CPU's, specialized NVDIMM memory, ReFS filesystem and additional performance presets.

Enterprise unlocks some GPO's (for managing features) which aren't supported in any Pro edition. Pro/EDU/Enterprise are built on the same code base, but the license determines which GPO's are followed. Home (least GPO's supported), Pro (more), EDU/Enterprise (all).
