Oh crap. I guess that means I'll not be upgrading my 2012R2 Hyper-V which runs on a Q6600. The Core i5, Core i7 and Xeon E5 should be ok.
Intel is always a mess speaking about CPU features. AMD is always a better choice in that regard. Whatever the MS move was really stupid.
Installed this beast yesterday. No problem at all. Activated nicely. After that I installed Exchange 2016 CU2. No problem at all. But... None of the Exchange services will start automatically. I have to start them manually. After that, everything is fine. WTF? Edit: workaround was to delay the startup of several sevices
Upgraded my Server 2012R2 box with this ISO worked perfect running really well, did a disk clean up and only thing I had to do was new drivers for graphics, Seems faster and more responsive but time will tell, I have to VM's running and no problems there

nope already had that one disabled, turns out it was the IE enhanced security Configuration, had to turn that off
So they decided to drop Windows Store, Microsoft Edge and the possibility to convert user accounts into Microsoft Accounts all-together? I can't add .NET Framework 2.0 / 3.X using the Server Manager either. It always give me errors.
No it's not. They're still in the Technical Preview phase... anybody claiming this is RTM has no idea what they're talking about.
I had no problems to install .NET Framework 3.5 via the Server Manager but I have entered the Path to the sxs folder in the Alternate source files.
