minus-squareSaik0linkfedilinkEnglish39•2 years ago Fast would be if windows 8 had ads and non uninstallable internet exploder etc Sounds like someone who doesn’t remember windows 8! Ads: https://hothardware.com/news/microsofts-big-hidden-windows-8-feature-builtin-advertising 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.
minus-square@0xC4aE1e5@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-22 years agoFunny 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.
