The writing is on the wall–I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service. Gather your ISOs while ye may.

    I have LTSC 2021 officially (MSDN) and I have to say I’m not very impressed. You still can’t turn off the telemetry crap. There is still a windows store. There’s a bit less bundled scamware but beside that it’s a bit overrated IMO.

      Group Policy.

      Enterprises can’t allow such external accesses/data for security and compliance issues (depending on the industry).

      Via GP, all that can be disabled.

        Even all the telemetry?

        I really hate dealing with group policies (and I work in enterprise endpoint management, I prefer more modern management). AD/Group policies can only be updated on site or VPN, and they’re only really instructions for registry settings anyway.

        But I’ll try that out. I don’t have a windows server though, nor do I want one. But I guess I could use gpedit.
