Of interest to those of us who develop software for, manage, or administer Windows Server systems.

I’ve wondered why Microsquish doesn’t name their server OS’s a couple of years out - like Server 2018 instead of Server 2016. You know, for breathing room. Is it because they know they’re already obsolete by the time they are released?

MS needs to move away from the 5 year cycle and maybe go to 10. They are not really providing much benefit for the cost.
