> It will reach its end of servicing in May 2024 (Home, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstations editions) and in May 2025 (Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions).

All the Microsoft articles linked show the October 2025 date. I have no idea where the article is getting those dates from.

Enterprise edition is only used by few people?

Win 10 enterprise edition is not win 10 pro. Enterprise edition keys are used by people who need their software to have actual guarantees, like defense and aerospace.

Or, you know, most enterprises.

Also people who want as much of the bloat and cruft cut out as humanly possible. I've been using W10 LTSC for years now as a daily driver, runs all of my games and apps no problem.

I had a hard time snagging a copy of that.

Nah, that isn't true. Most people are using Pro. Enterprise is a significantly greater cost and most smaller enterprises don't use it to save money.

You're limited to 300 users on Microsoft 365 Business Premium, anyone over this limit will be on Microsoft 365 Enterprise, which includes an Windows Enterprise license.

You can still just buy licensing not on subscription.

Lol no.

You get a few different features and entitlements.
