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?
Ooohh my! why do people still run windows! it is a constant "up hill" fight!
i'm so glad that the last windows i had touch was windows 8 (not even 8.1)
The final MS plan is that all apps must be installed via store and during the next 10 years they will slowly move to that until they control your machine, so trying to avoid it now for sure it will popup again later with any random update
i'm really glad that i left my last "windows" work and now i'm on "linux" only company... i wish you all the same luck! :)

Because it still kinda works and the Desktop Linux developers keep sabotaging Desktop Linux presumably to try to make it nearly as bad as Windows. I still keep hearing people grumbling about systemd, pulseaudio, KDE, GNOME etc. Even here.
Just because your desktop UI is a bit better than Windows doesn't cut it.
Many people seem to find OS X less annoying than KDE/Gnome.
The Desktop Linux bunch have had so many years to build something that's less crap than what they keep shitting out.
Seems to me the UI people with a clue have left the Microsoft Desktop UI teams (Metro wtf?). And OSS teams never really seemed to have desktop UI/design people with a clue (from the days of wobbly windows till now), most good desktop UI design decisions seemed to either be due to copying or luck.
