You can get it, it's called Enterprise LTSB (N). No apps except for Settings, no Edge and Cortana, even the old Win32 calculator is there. Problem is: It's not available for individuals, but fortunately you can even go and shrink the Home/Pro version down, remove all provisioned apps etc. but it takes some time and you need to maintain a custom setup image.

But there are hardly any apps for Windows 10.

That's still more than none.

AVG, the Czech antivirus company, has announced a new privacy policy in which it boldly and openly admits it will collect user details and sell them to online advertisers for the purpose of continuing to fund its freemium-based products. That's strange: the entire browser history is searches for competitive antivirus products. Then it goes blank.

WTF? Go to hell, AVG.

With Device Guard and Credential Guard, Windows enjoys unprecedented protection from malware and advanced persistent threats. Something about "Damning with faint praise"

Yeah we'll see about that.

They secure the old ways but introduce more new ways that are yet to be discovered.

Maybe we won't need AVG anyway.

Pretty ironic given the fact that it's also the most chatty Windows ever... and it feels just as hard as breaking the security to turn all that telemetry stuff off.

A pity they're making it enterprise only and tying it to a TPM. TPMs being only present in enterprise laptops is very much a chicken and egg problem; give a value added reason and there's no reason they couldn't be more common. For those of us who still build our own desktops, a lot of higher end mobos have TPM headers; and a quick Google shows them available for <$20; which's certainly within budget for anyone building a mid/high end box. For as often as I install new software, having to self-sign anything I install explicitly wouldn't be a major burden assuming it could be done from the same secure desktop as login/UAC prompts are already hosted in.

Actually, it probably will be the most secure consumer version; but for one of the reasons people are up in arms.
The majority of Malware currently infecting systems[^] uses bugs that were patched years ago; and thus is only a threat to sunshines whose boxes haven't been patched for years.
