So let me get this straight... LTSB/LTSC has been forever pushed by Microsoft as a solution for embedded systems like kiosks, signage, medical/industrial equipment, etc. Microsoft has always quite explicitly discouraged the use of it as a daily driver for information workers specifically because of the lack of OS servicing, ongoing silicon support, etc.
And now Microsoft's justification of cutting LTSC's lifecycle in half from now on is that customers using it for information workers' machines against Microsoft's guidance found it to be a hassle to upgrade/manage?
That's a major slap in the face to customers using LTSB/LTSC in correct deployment scenarios. In what world does this make sense?
Bad move in my opinion, Microsoft.
