but MS isn’t creating new software for us dinosaurs, they are designed BY AND FOR the next generation of users - they don’t find it nearly as hard to use it.

This has INFURIATED me at the office. I've been pleading the case with my leadership to allow us engineers to deploy Windows server Core edition which is just a Powershell console. They're fighting me tooth and nail saying, "Oh well if you ever leave, no one will know how to administer that system."

I wonder, sometimes, if leadership even gives a damn about server security. I'm personally trying to move more toward *Nix administration. They make better money, are growing in demand, and no one ever argues with you over whether or not to install the GUI.
