Windows Core? STOP the madness now!
There is an invidious, and very nasty little idea festering in the noggins of some IT sysadmins.
When I first chanced upon it on September 7th of this year, I dismissed it for what it was: the thoroughly uninformed ramblings of a truly mental idiot.
As you can see, I mentioned that I may disagree with that blog post.
As far as I was concerned, that put paid to that silly notion.
Seriously, a CLI version of Windows?
However, last week, I was treated to yet another similar tweet when someone asked that Windows 7 Basic be the default in Windows going forward.
What?
Wha, what??

“Has the world gone mad?”
Just WTF is going on here?
The same squids that ask for a basic version of Windows are the same yum-yums that genuflect over the ‘beauty’ of OSX, all the while asking for a CLI version of Windows.
How hypocritical is that?
This, from sysadmins?
How lazy could they be?
As that blonde-haired woman shilling for some crap on TV back in the 80s or 90s used to holler out:
“Stop the madness!”
For clarity:
Stephen Foskett was just pointing to a blog post written by someone else. Stephen is a storage supremo, a Microsoft MVP, runs the Tech Field Day, and is an all-round great guy.
