LTSC: What is it, and when should it be used?

Ok, I guess I want to throw my 2 cents into LTSC piggy bank :-). So, we have big Enterprise organization. Yep, one of those big ones that everyone knows. EVERYONE! And of course just like everyone else on this planet scared of staying on W7 because soon will be not supported, and as result non-compliance, audit, regulators and big, big fines! Does not sound good! So started moving with SAC. 1709. Well, because it was 1 year ago. 1803 was skipped - thanks to MS for announcing new strategy of supporting fall releases for 30 months instead of originally planned 18 months! Now got 1809. Yes, it was mess! In fact it was disaster. You were saying 09 means September? Yeah right! How about November? October was bug-fixes time ha-ha-ha! Halloween of bugs. But as you know, November is the time when things slow down. Why? Well, many reasons. First it is new fiscal year. First month is always slow. Besides everybody is in the Christmas mood. Santa coming to town in case you did not know. Then it is January, best time to go Dominican, Mexico or Cuba - prices doing down! Who does not like cheap vacation all-inclusive? Then February things start picking-up slowly. But hey, now business got scary, they want to test their Applications, but they don't have time. And you know, all those 3rd party agents? Security agents? Have you heard about them? They also may not work in 1809. So if we push 1809 we may break all machines. Risk is real, and everybody scary. But things not getting any better. Soon it will be 1909 and it only will be worse. So this is a road to perdition. What you suggest? Stay on 1709 or jump to 1809? What if something happens? It will be the END. And nobody want the END. Everybody want to live. Everyone want to retire happy ha-ha-ha! Now let's see why SAC is better (as per you list): 1. Edge is missing. Sure. But Edge is disaster. There are problems with SSO via ADFS because MS did not allow any browser to access ADFS, each Agent string must be explicitly written into ADFS configuration. You saying add this to ADFS? Sure. But do you remember we were talking about large enterprise? 5-second command to execute in PROD environment takes easily 6 months. Why? Don't ask. Just believe! So for any changes we are looking months and months to implement. 2. Cortana. We disabled it in SAC anyway, so why bother? Nobody use Cortana, except MS people who present something on Ignite! 3. App Store. Most enterprise block it - otherwise this is a Pandora box! If users start installing what they want this will be the end! 4. Same thing for many other things. So what really business need? They need their Applications. And they want them to work stable today, tomorrow and in 5 years, day after day. And if changes occurs so often and could break things, this is not good. Did I almost convinced you why large enterprises should go with LTSC? Ha-ha-ha! Your turn!
