You can, however, get Windows AME, which is kinda interesting.

Yikes...

How long has it been around? Anyone here used it extensively enough to recommend?
An excellent question. It seems interesting, and like it has a reasonable social consensus, but I do wonder if everyone'll just be going hunting for LTSB 5-10 years from now.

...Maybe treat it like Existential Arch Linux?

(Where "existential" applies to both "the project might be dead in a few years" and "they disable Windows Update, so not actually Arch Linux" :D)

Thanks, this seems like a good source of information!
