[_V_]

It's great to see Microsoft being so original with Win11

Let's face it the best future OS is NOT Windows, the best server OS is NOT Windows.

Why are big companies still supporting this crap?

They are charging (a lot!) per core for server OS now (from 2016), fook that tulip on 64-128 core boxes

It was bad enough paying 800 quid for “Standard” edition, now costs will be crazy

Ampere processors are 80 or 128 cores per processor. There's a reason people who know what they're doing use Linux distro's for their server OS

We're better off waiting for Windows 12, seriously.

Microsoft releases seem to work on an involuntary tick-tock principle, where the "ticks" are a pile of junk and they then manage to pull it together in time for the "tock"

Or, as an ex MSFT dash trash - known as the "Swing of the pendulum" - the extreme is needed so the next iteration is progressive but not alienating.

Too right though, with nearly all the products.

DirectStorage API only with Win 11 - I knew they were holding back on it with their strange delays

It sounds like in this case, W11 barely justifies a new version number. We might be safe!

Just responding to tell you I laughed out loud at your ignorance

I think I stopped getting excited about the latest updates around the time NT released that hugely flawed service pack that cause so many issues. SP4 was it?

After that carry on I've always been happy to wait for a few updates before installing anything new nowadays.

I think that was SP6, which quickly became SP6a. My contract with BA was extended on the strength of having to fix many ruined servers, so every cloud...
