Sounds like your pinhead former systems engineer found a better offer with higher pay.

Eventually perhaps, but he got booted.

Ok, so do enlighten me as to why you think LTSC sucks ass. What isn't working for you that works in Enterprise? Genuinely curious.

LTSC is intended for stability and security, which is on the opposite end of spectrum of the "beta test" Home/Pro consumer editions.

In the same sense you claim LTSC is garbage, I could easily claim X build of Windows is garbage because it introduces a slew of unexpected issues.

LTSB/C is not intended for desktop deployment. It is designed for deployments on medical devices, ATM machines and similar use cases where its functionality doesn't need to evolve over time.

LTSB/C introduces issues for different reasons: it doesn't have the full range of functionality as a desktop focused edition of Windows does, which means in turn that numerous applications either don't work correctly or completely, and good luck figuring that out in advance.

The entire mentality of leaving a PC in feature stasis for years on end is there kind of antiquated bullshit we did back in the 90's and early 00's. It worked at that time and I'm that context, but it does not work in 2022.

You're not answering my question. What is not working for you? Or are you just making an issue out of a nonissue?

> it doesn't have the full range of functionality as a desktop focused edition of Windows does

That is utter nonsense. It has everything Windows needs to function normally.

I answered your question. The fact that you don't like the answer is your own problem.

LTSB/C is not intended for normal desktop use. Period.

No you didn't. I am asking for a specific example. You are dodging the question with a blanket statement that doesn't really address anything.

You shooting for the CEO of Adobe?
