Because it's almost as retarded as using win10.

Win7, 8.1 still get updated
Hell, even Server 2008 (based on Vista) and POSReady2009 still get updates

Wow, everything you can do with Linux, and closed source too!

Btw, if you're arguing useless metrics like max specs supported, Linux supports 4096 CPU cores, and exabytes of memory

where do i download it

I'm already using OS X El Capitan.

internet.org

No one who's not autistic wants to spend over 3 weeks configuring a web server before you get to actually use it.

>can add IIS and have a decent webserver with a couple clicks

HAHAHHA thanks for that.

>3 weeks configuring a web server

Aside the usual shill bullshit, do you need 3 weeks to configure a webserver?

because:
>don't have server grade hardware
>already debotneted with 2015 LTSB N
Why should I reinstall another OS just for features I'll never use?

>already debotneted with 2015 LTSB N

How?

user thinks it doesn't have telemetry.

My entire server is hosted on 46 lines of text but okay buddy

It doesn't. I used a normal installation and i see no microsoft services when using wireshark. The N means all microsoft services are not installed by default.

Because I use a desktop, not a server.

Because i user server 2016

I use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB, it's Windows 10 with all the bullshit removed including Cortana.

>Windows 10 with all the bullshit removed
Impossible, Windows 10 is bullshit to the core

Powershell

Windows 8.1 best OS.

No seriously, there's no real incentive with 10, looks better and can be tampered with better. And it still has more support than 7. And I have experienced that, after a clean install of W8.1 Update 1 is probably the most stable experience I had with a Windows system as long as I don't update.

Can I play games in it even directx 12 ones? If not into the trash it goes.

lol?

then make a gui that can do that.

it's not like it's hard. both nginx and apache httpd have well structured configs.

all you would need is basic templates and muh drop downs and text field gooeys and you'd be good to go

post netstat/wireshark

pictured is the exact os I'm currently installing on our all workstations to replace windows 10 pro

Gonna keep linux and freebsd on servers though.

The N means the media features and Cortana are not installed by default. You still have botnet. It can't be stopped even on Enterprise.

>inb4 host file
You have to block at the router lvl

even then, m$ has an entire /8 block so you're kind of wasting time. there isn't any reason they couldn't just push some "generic update for something" that uses static IPs from said /8 block.
