Sql-server – Table Partitioning in SP1 for SQL Server 2016

service-packsql-server-2016

Can anyone validate\conclude for sure if SP1 for SQL Server 2016 now makes Table Partitioning available in the Standard Edition version? It has always been an Enterprise Edition feature in the past. I have seen this on a few blogs, but is this true?

Thank You,
Max

I can do one better than Standard Edition, here is proof that it is available even in Express Edition (click to enlarge):

As are all of the other features "they say" are enabled. Everything in this post is true, for example.
