ROTFLMFAO!!!!!
Oh My God!!!
Is this the best the *almighty* Microsoft can do?
They *still* can't remove the GUI completely from the OS. What they've
got here is a DOS box with the equivalent of twm from the 1980's. What a
joke.
Go Microsoft, Go!!!
Oh but wait ... choice is good.
Let me see now, I want a new server and I can choose one of the
following OSes for it:
. Microsoft "Server Core", with a cheap plastic 80's gooey and almost
zero functionality, or ...
. Linux "Fedora Core" set up as a lean server, with no GUI, hardened
security with SELinux et al, providing a hundred customised services,
using industry standard De Facto applications like Apache etc.
Hmmm, decisions decisions .... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
