Some of you really don't want Windows 10's April 2018 update on your rigs

the really REALLY annoying thing about MS is that they already offer decent versions of their OS. Remeber Vista and the shitness? Look at server 2008, server 2008 was awesome. It had a start menu, proper search, no telemetry. And its still supported now. 2008r2 (windows 7) just just 2008 with more goodies.

windows 8? Apart from the stupid way to reboot or search from rdp server 2012 just worked. It had a fully functional and working backup, desktop and control panel.

8.1 made 2012r2: gone was the silly rdp swipe to edges andnit booted to desktop. yey.

come windows 10, server 2016 is perfectly usable. Sure the start menu is a bit 'flat' but thats the only real gripe. It is similar to LTSB in a way.

The server iterations show what CAN be done with the OS. MS choose not to offer those "skins" though.
