Microsoft has to cripple their spyware on Education edition because of laws on spying on children, so its unironically the most secure version, even moreso than Enterprise or LTSC. Education is also based on Enterprise so its actually more feature complete than Professional. Just don't mix it up for Pro Education, thats meant for teachers and has the spyware.
8.1 is gonna be dropped fast, like in a couple years fast.
