alt Hacker NewsSeriously, that was my thought too. Even if we were to stretch credibility and suggest that general consumers don't care about this sort of thing, they just released this for Windows Server in the past year?
Windows really is a toy of an OS. It continues to blow my mind that people want to use it as a server OS.
Because it offers VMS niceties that UNIX clones still doesn't do, and stuff like AD, SMB, without manually going through configuration files stored somewhere, that differ across UNIX flavours.
Although I do conceed UNIX has won the server room and Windows Servers are mostly about AD, SMB, IIS, Sharepoint, Dynamics, SQL Server.
Naturally some of those can be outsourced into Azure services that Microsoft will gladly provide.
