As most of you will already know Microsoft is changing the way they release software. Instead of bringing out a “new version” of Windows with new features every few years (Windows XP, then Vista, then 7, then 8…) they are going to provide new features every few months in Windows 10. That sounds

As you can read in our short article on what Windows 10 LTSB is missing, it does not have programs like Cortana, Edge, and the Store.
CB Fortunately Microsoft will allow users to flip between versions every year or so. UPDATED Sept 2015: See our short article on HOW TO CHANGE WINDOWS 10 LTSB to CB Windows 10 LTSB will periodically match the Windows 10 CB version and when it does, users will be able to change to the different stream. LTSB machines can be converted to CB versions and vise versa.
Microsoft poorly explains LTSB this way:
Windows 10 Enterprise builds on Windows 10 Pro adding premium features designed to address the needs of large and mid-size organizations (including large academic institutions), such as advanced protection against modern security threats, full flexibility of OS deployment, updating and support options; as well as comprehensive device and app management and control capabilities.
The LTSB edition provides customers with access to the Long Term Servicing Branch as a deployment option for their mission critical devices and environments.
To the right is an excellent graphic from our good friends at Windows IT Pro the shows the progression, proving that a picture is worth the preceding 1000 words.

Microsoft carries a burden of PC world´s fragmentation. It keeps most of the component manufacturers afloat. Apple´s got a cosed environment with it´s own hard- and software and is able to dictate every step based on markets. It actually creates the markets. No matter how fast or slow iMachines and their softwares are, they allways fit together and end users don´t have to mind about that. MS must take care of Windows´ long history, compatibilbity of several OS´ and keep calm billions of users. It wants to get rid of that load on shoulders and do what the rivals do, only one operating system and an ecosystem built around it. Unfortunately this critical period towards that wet dream is not easy to handle. How to eat and save at the same time? Kick out old operating systems, sell the new one and keep the customers? Probably it´s all about delay tactics. Old dinos are pissed off, scared in this turmoil and younger generations are not hooked on yet. MS tells not enough about WIN 10´s LTSB. It doesn´t know the future and tries to maintain mobility by hiding all intentions. SUN TZU is open in MS board room. If MS turns out to be successful and builds up APPLE-like Windows World, there is still hope for free component and software markets as well as for free, independent PC-users. TUX is rising with a mobile phone.
