    How is it performing for you guys? I'm somewhat sceptical as this new build has yet to be made available on TechNet.

    Since Windows 10 client 14295 was officially released on ISO, I'm kind of expecting 14295 to be the next preview build for Server whenever we see it.

    More screenshots for WZoR today, this time from Windows Server 2016 Standard Technical Preview 5 so it seems like 14300 will be the official Technical Preview 5 build.

    Where is the god damn ISO... How could this be taking so long? Nothing from WZoR either, and he obviously got it..

    Sometimes WZoR doesn't leak Servers. But sometimes he leaks Servers two months later. So who knows.

    Was hoping Microsoft would finally release the official ISO's, but it might seem like we are out of luck.

    I've got it on a VM that I upgraded from TP4 to 14291. I'm not running any workloads on it though so I don't have much to say about it. Upgrade from TP4 went fine. Notepad crashes whenever it exits.

    If you install without "Desktop Experience" you don't even get Server Manager.
    Installing Server Manager from powershell doesn't work, at least not the way you could do it in earlier Previews.

    Frankly nowadays there is really little point in installing a core version, the space gained is not that much, and you can disable the gui just replacing the default shell with cmd, powershell, taskman whatever you like
    .

    Then you can launch whatever graphic tool only when and if needed.

    there was a time when you could have a basic explorer as gui
    without all the complex full gui bloat from windows

    but now you can only take the whole crap or get nothing at all
    i still wish they had kept TP3 explorer/startmenu as an option :(
