Sounds like someone who doesn't remember windows 8!

They were working on it... and had it working in several places.
Uninstallable IE: https://www.technorms.com/34477/uninstall-internet-explorer-11
While not literally uninstallable... they definitely made it a lot harder.
Windows 7 was the last good version of windows.
it is
That goes for almost any software.
Why not XP SP3?
Interesting - I didn't know that. Thanks!
Funny thing is that 8 had 2 LTSC-like versions:
Embedded Industry and the EEAP builds.
EEAP builds were released to partners (e.g. Nvidia and Intel) only.
Industry Pro is like a precursor to modern day IoT LTSC.
Windows 8(.1) was still utter trash, I actually "down"graded to windows 7 at the time and it was a bliss.
(it wasn't the non-stop-ads kind of trash, but the UI suited a tablet more than a desk/laptop)
If only every Windows install came with an internet exploder! We wouldn't have to read Elon Musk X fluff pieces on the news ever single day. And privacy concerns... What privacy concerns?
The freemium model was launched and completed with Win10.
