I'm not sure if it's comedic or tragic that the version so very many users would want most, is not only the version with the worst name, but also the version Microsoft discourages people from adopting.
Critical patch support, infrequent updates, and excludes crufty bloatware. What's not to like?
Not surprising, because MS wants to push all the features (and ads, telemetry, etc.) to users regardless of whether they actually want them.
Indeed I wish MS would just keep supporting XP as the "Windows LTSB" with nothing but critical security patches, and keep doing it until the OS becomes nearly invulnerable to remote attacks.
I lol'd. You'd probably be pretty safe with Windows 3.11, Trumpet Winsock, and Netscape Navigator.
edit: so long as nobody got your public IP and used Winnuke on you.
Microsoft offers 90-days evaluation ISOs of Windows 10 Enterprise and LTSB [1]. Just be sure to select "Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB" instead of "Windows 10 Enterprise" when downloading [2].

There's apparently some new LTSB on its way but this aside it is not the panacea this thread makes it out to be.
The LTSB edition looks promising but I haven't put it under the microscope yet.
