I know it sounds like a crazy question to ask, but why aren't people developing for Windows Server as much as they use to. It is cheaper to license per physical server or vm compared to RHEL, OEL, and SUSE enterprise, and it is easier to manage.
It's 3am and I've been woken up to deal with a production problem of reasonable seriousness. After login, I'm assaulted with the appstore's recommendations for things like sports news and various games they think I want to know about.<p>At the time, I couldn't imagine how anyone thought that putting this sort of thing onto their flagship server OS was a good idea.<p>I realized about then that Windows was lost, MS didn't have the desire to promote it, and it became clear that their only real play was Azure and spyware.
