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@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-211 months 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.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•11 months ago Yeah slowly, it started years ago but it’s been getting worse every version, slowly The freemium model was launched and completed with Win10.
