So a few weeks into it, and here are some updated thoughts.

- If you use virtual backgrounds in Microsoft Teams, prepare to be 
disappointed.
- Still haven't got the VPN set up yet, but I've also not really been working 
on it.  For now, the VPN running in my Windows HVM is good enough for most 
tasks.
- I can't get Remmina to reliably connect through work's Remote Desktop 
Gateway.  I think it's a TLS negotiation thing, but I haven't been able to 
investigate.
- It's a fail on me for not doing my due diligence, but the CPU *is* a little 
underwhelming for purpose.  It works fine, but really we should have more than 
six cores in a machine built around virtualization.
- For some reason my webcam, which I use as a microphone, will occasionally get 














































































































































































































































































































































































































































































"stuck" and I can't get it reconnected to the VM I use for video conferencing 
until I bounce the VM.

Outside of the videoconferencing challenges it's been great, though.  I'll 
probably keep a lightweight "insecure" machine around for VC.
