They pulled the nose up with Core in 2008. The entered the stratosphere with Server 2012. I’m hoping 2016 is out of this world.
I do, however, fear that much of their infrastructure tools are going to start pushing admins toward cloud-based solutions with Azure. While things like clustering, Exchange, Sharepoint, and even IIS are appropriate for Azure-based implementations, you’ll never pry on-site deployments for DFS, DNS, DHCP, ADCS or ADDS away from us. NEVER!
I think that's what "private clouds" are for. On-prem, but deployed and managed with the same tools as your cloud servers.
