The best version of Windows 10 is not available to buy for most users

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, is for anyone who uses Windows to get work done, or is more technically minded, going to be the most useful version of Windows 10 that exists, and provide the best experience.

Heres how one commenter describes it...

"A version of windows 10 that is completely free of bloatware (no Microsoft store, no preinstalled apps like candy crush, no tiles on start menu, no Cortana, only windows search, no edge, only Internet explorer). It only gets security updates instead of feature updates, and has support for 10 years. Best version of windows 10 IMO. FYI it was originally called LTSB (Long term servicing branch) and was renamed to LTSC (Long term servicing channel). "

For a lot of Windows users this is the dream version of Windows, but that comment was taken from R/Piracy... Individual users cannot buy it no matter how much they want it, its only available via an enterprise volume license.

So someone at MS knows what a utile and uninvasive version of Windows looks like, they've even made it and sell it, just not to the majority of users.
