In contrast, LTSB servicing was billed by Microsoft as a solution for a few organizations with Windows 10 clients that couldn't tolerate much change, such as medical devices. With this model, Microsoft has argued that most organizations should prefer using the Windows 10 current branch for business servicing model where they are accepting this faster update approach. Windows 10 now gets monthly feature changes, as well as a few major OS updates per year. Under that venerable and stable model, Microsoft would sometimes release a service pack after a couple of years or so, but otherwise the OS features did not change from month to month, and the OS had patch support for 10 years. LTSB servicing for Windows 10 is somewhat similar to Microsoft's traditional product support found with its earlier client operating systems, such as Windows 7. This idea comes from a recent Microsoft TechNet article, as reported today by veteran Microsoft reporter Mary Jo Foley.
The latest surprise in this evolving story is that Microsoft doesn't see LTSB servicing as being a "supported" option for managing its Surface tablet-PC devices when they are used as "general-purpose" devices. Microsoft is starting to document how its long-term servicing branch (LTSB) concept for Windows 10 can affect organizations.
