Windows 10 adds a lot of value to the DoD. Better 2F authentication, better biometrics, stronger centralised control (e.g. Device Guard, all this[0]), VBS[1], and all of the improvements they missed in 8 &amp; 8.1 (e.g. secure boot, improved Bitlocker, improved GPO&#x2F;AD integration, improved security focused compiler technology, etc).<p>Plus the Enterprise LTSB branch is almost DESIGNED for the DoD (in fact I&#x27;d put money on governments being the primary target for even having a LTSB branch).<p>A lot of the complaints&#x2F;criticism of Windows 10 doesn&#x27;t apply to the LTSB as it has most of Microsoft&#x27;s services stripped out from the get-go.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogs.windows.com&#x2F;business&#x2F;2014&#x2F;10&#x2F;22&#x2F;windows-10-security-and-identity-protection-for-the-modern-world&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogs.windows.com&#x2F;business&#x2F;2014&#x2F;10&#x2F;22&#x2F;windows-10-sec...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;technet.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;library&#x2F;mt601297(v=vs.85).aspx" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;technet.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;library&#x2F;mt601297(v=vs.85...</a>
