Have to use SMB 1.0? Windows 10 April 2018 Update says NO

So for a while now...

...Win10 Pro and above have natively supported being an NFS4 client. It just works, once you enable it. In fact, if your NFS server is exporting a volume formatted with ntfs-3g it works for storing backups. With the right export options you can even store a Win10 system image. Imagine it: Win10 accessing a mapped network drive like a *nix client and treating it like a native MS server share.

Now, I know there has to be a down side to it. I just don't know what it is yet. What I do know is that I don't need SMB on my network anymore. Thank RNGesus for that!
