We had 3 laptops we migrated today from desktops...pita

1. Endpoint encryption is poo poo

2. Smart cards are poo poo

3. Syncing with active directory is poo poo

We had an office worker getting forced rebooted constantly because his piv badge wouldn't sync correctly and port security kept shutting them down.

the best feature is living in an "unsupported region", so all that stuff is permanently disabled and the blue circle won't even make an appearance, and trying to find out more just gives you a bing search

In Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview (Server with Desktop Experience), if you uninstall SysWOW64 or Windows PowerShell, the result is Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview in Server Core mode. That is, the entire Desktop Experience feature is removed as well.
If this occurs, reinstall Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview (Server with Desktop Experience).

that's not what I posted and it doesn't make any sense. why would a windows user need a shell? windows doesn't need a shell because its a good os. only the bad oses need shells
