If you can get ahold of the Windows 10 LTSB (Long-term servicing branch) distribution, it's actually really nice. Windows without the store, the cruft, the forced updates, and the telemetry. Unfortunately I believe you need MSDN or an enterprise volume licensing deal to have access to it.

It's just so embarrassing to RDP to a windows server and see ads, news, and a store in the start menu. Why the hell anyone would want that on a server is beyond me.

  The Store is not included in Server SKUs. (except Essentials)

  If you prefer the Windows 7 start menu, consider Classic Shell [1]. [1] http://classicshell.net/ http://classicshell.net/

Isn't W10 Enterprise available to individuals as a monthly subscription?

  I think its a victim of one of those fractal product bifurcations. I think enterprise is available in at least three different editions, depending on update cadence.
