As long as they don't remove it from the IoT LTSC edition I don't care.

    Something something first they came for the Home users..

    I also use IoT LTSC when I need to use Windows, but we shouldn't stand for this shit to begin with, even if it doesn't affect our SKU. In my mind, it's only a matter of time before IoT LTSC won't be a suitable option anymore, and then it's too late to care. It's a stopgap solution to a bigger problem, an abusive and controlling relationship Microsoft has with their users.

    They can keep killing all the work arounds they want but you will still be able to set a local account when saying you are connecting to a domain.

    That only works with Pro. Home doesn't have that option.

    I have two Windows programs that I use regularly. I run Windows 10 inside Gnome Boxes within Linux Mint. The Windows VM has no internet access. I have successfully moved the Windows VM (not really hard) to a second computer. I see no reason to ever play Microsoft's game again. Setting up Windows 10 or Windows IoT LTSC within Gnome Boxes is dead easy.
