The Microsoft view is that LTSC is for "single purpose devices", more akin to appliances or embedded systems (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/ltsc/ove...) Those tend to be shipped on some validated hardware that will take years to validate, then eventually gets approved for use, and won't be replaced for many years. My guess is in many of these use cases (industrial etc) you won't see TPMs present or used, because they value availability and uptime over all else (i.e. confidentiality and integrity) - you won't be encrypting the filesystem or doing any kind of TPM checks on an industrial control system, as the operational technology mindset is to put availability above all else, and a TPM or encryption issue would compromise availability. So not really for workstations - they'd probably say you should use enterprise and just accept constant changes and new features being pushed down to users causing support hassle. They don't officially consider LTSC to be something used by regular users for daily productivity though. |
