Maya open error with msvcr90.dll

Been seeing an error pop open a lot on new installs of Maya in Windows 10. Something like this:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016\maya.exe

R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

It turns out that it appears that there are multiple copies of msvcr90.dll on the machine, and for whatever reason, if you have system level Python installed, the copy of msvcr90.dll that ships with it somehow clashes with Maya.
If you rename /remove this file:

C:\Python27\msvcr90.dll

Maya will stop throwing the error. Not sure how this impacts system-level Python though.
