Joe_Lurie will licensing become more flexible for the win10 iot enterprise version? Today that specific flavor is only sold to a few select resellers. I manage specialty devices for an enterprise. We utilize our ms agreement for licensing and provide our own hardware to configure with our equipment: for about 75-80% of the environment. For the other 20% where we are getting the PC/os from the supplier with the equipment, the suppliers do not care about our desire to patch and secure our systems so they do not take the time to get the LTSC flavor. It is not easy for them to understand the model and they do not want to be forced to work with the Microsoft’s selected 6 vendors to get the right version.
I understand the desire to limit enterprises from deploying LTSC to the office environment but Microsoft does a poor job of understanding the specialty uses for windows.
