But presumably if these issues are important, you should be licensing Windows 10 Enterprise.
Small businesses and independent professionals typically don't have that option. This is the traditional market for Pro editions of Windows, but unlike previous versions, Windows 10 Pro is more like Windows 10 Home plus a bit than Windows 10 Enterprise minus a bit.
If Microsoft released a version of Windows 10 Pro that was actually aimed at professionals and treated us as such, we'd have no problem upgrading. As long as Microsoft presumes to have more control of our equipment than us, we'll continue with our programme of phasing out Windows and migrating to other platforms wherever possible.
The technical improvements in 10 are not in dispute, but the analogy of making a house perfectly secure by removing all the doors and windows comes to mind.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoAs I said in my original comment, I see no problem with moving to other platforms. I do see a problem with using obsolete, insecure operating systems like Windows 7. :) Also, note that I do maintain an environment with Pro licensing, not Enterprise. So I am both aware of the limitations, and the steps needed to mitigate them.

If you know how to mitigate the antifeatures like forced updates, reboots and telemetry in Windows 10 Pro in a supported and future-proof way, please share. I'm sure a lot of people would like to know!
