Organizations can capitalize on the huge array of low cost, “Designed for Windows 10,” brand-name computer systems that fit their requirements and budget. Many companies prefer to use the Home and Pro editions of Windows 10 for their projects instead in order to avoid IoT and LTSB shortcomings and expense. However, Windows 10 IoT and LTSB are overall more expensive and less accessible, offered only on a limited set of computing hardware, require special licensing, and in-depth knowledge of complex implementation and deployment procedures. Some organizations choose Windows 10 IoT (formally known as Windows Embedded) or Windows 10 LTSB (long term servicing branch) for their deployments because of stability and finite control over native operating system features. Due to its popularity, broad developer support, breadth of built-in capabilities, and unrivaled out-of-the-box support for peripheral devices, it is the platform of choice for hundreds-of-thousands of mission critical, industrial, and other special purpose applications such as kiosks, digital signage, and other systems. Windows 10 is an excellent operating system enabling robust and reliable machines for nearly any computing requirement.
