Just coming back to this after almost a month of 95% of our staff (IT included) working from home during the CoVid-19 outbreak. We're about a year into a gradual roll-out of MS365 technologies (done Exchange and AAD) and we've accelerated the roll-out of Teams, OneDrive, etc. and despite a few frustrations, things are actually working remarkably well - we're particularly starting to feel the love for Teams.
Why am I writing this? Simply because it's clear the desktop OS is becoming less and less relevant - most of our users are just working in the cloud on whatever they have at home. We have a few legacy apps (finance, why is it always finance!?) where people are VPNing in to their (LTSC) desktops but apart from that, as long as their system has a modern web browser, the OS underneath is irrelevant. I can even work effectively on my Chromebook, although my Macbook or Win10LTSC laptop is preferable, mainly because Teams is best in the app and the app is best in Windows and then MacOS.
So perhaps instead of adding more and more features to Windows 10 and poo-pooing people who are using LTSC, MS should be thinking about a lightweight, easy to service, image of Windows aimed at users who spend most of their time in the web browser not the desktop OS.
By the way - big kudos to the Edge team - from hating the original version I'm really liking the new Chromium-based Edge, 'Profiles' are invaluable.
