Be aware that advanced threat protection is only available if you sign up for the E5 Windows Enterprise edition (not yet available to purchase as far as I know. Also you need the Pro sku to defer upgrades.

Didn't take long for the "WAIT, DON'T DO IT!" KB articles to appear -- https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB87536

Lots of "NOTE" and "DO NOT" items in this KB, bold-face and everything....
