      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

              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!
