In an enterprise environment where I control the apps that I install for my users, what are the ramifications of removing the Windows store and all of its apps from my Windows 10 setups?
Note that you'll need to download and install templates from Windows 8.1 to make this happen, as MS "conveniently" left those out of the Windows 10 distribution -- even though the policy items are identical.
Oh, and fuck you Microsoft!

Perhaps more helpfully for Enterprise admins, the store can be disabled (no thanks to Microsoft) via Group Policy:
