Yeah, the UI is shit, though in the next server release they're adding native PowerShell over SSH, so hopefully you should never have to log in to one again.
will I need a CAL to SSH in?
Wow, this page is a mess - here's an element based breakdown of the switching elements in their presentation: MSFT: - nav 1 - nav 2 - header with what sounds like a call to action, but no button to buy? - hero image with text overlaid that has terrible contrast nobody will read - inter-page menus with some insane zooming function that scared my browser - another hero image - 3 columns - maybe buttons? no not clickabl…
I'm pretty sure it's a Safari problem (El capitan update I suppose) but I was actually getting massive lag earlier on that iPad Pro page. Upvoted you though be have you're right and your analysis is spot on.

It seems like running in a VM is a much more attractive option than dual booting these days. The performance hit is negligible (especially with 16GB RAM), you can use both OSes at the same time, and you can use all the native Windows touch/pen drivers and have them carry over to the VM.
Good point, but not ideal for everyone. Especially with IOMMU and an SSD, performance isn't so bad when it works. I haven't liked the overhead with this in the past though, plus no full disk encryption, (although I guess you could do it in the guest), and Windows security in general, and bad 3D drivers for the guest (compositing please), and anything that wants low level hardware access is out. So if you don't actual…

Those two lines do different things. They're not analogous. The equivalent to the UNIX line above in Powershell is: ls "C:\app\*.log" -R | sls "Error" | sort You cannot just tack on a bunch of extra requirements for Powershell (grouping, sorting by certain things and in a certain order) and then not include them in the UNIX example, that's disingenuous/misleading. The only big difference between PS and UNIX in an act…
Hence "I can think of". That was copypasta from an internal wiki. I don't appreciate being accused of "disingenousness" from an off the cuff example. By the way, your example is precisely 12 characters longer than mine and still multiple times shorter than the equivalent PS, so if your goal was to somehow disprove PowerShell's annoying verboseness rather than snark at me, you failed.

Nope, I'm seeing messed up pages on chrome too. EDIT: So the page finally loads properly, I guess for some reason it takes forever to load the images. The biggest file is a 3.5MB mp4 while all other images are under 700KB. And the loading speed doesn't change back to normal even with cache enabled. It could be some problematic static file routing and controls.
(Disclaimer: I don't use IE, I just have it available when I need to check something. I don't want people to get the wrong idea.)

And why the people who can get to decide who can’t.
really? How's that work? Or is it just a subset?
I think the point is to force people to lurk around a while before they can downvote anything.

Except it's still about the OS. It has always been about the OS. I'd use a $400 HP from walmart if it ran the latest version of OS X flawlessly.
Interesting. The general consensus I get when talking to people, especially devs, is that it's about apple's quality of hardware.
Nothing beats having the ability run Unix command line tools.
MS really needs to add these to their base OS.
That's what the OEMs get for not being able to put out a laptop that could compete with Apple in all those years, they always managed to introduce some fatal flaw in their premium laptops, from weird keyboard layouts to bad fan management software. Let's hope the Surface Book will be succesful and Apple finally gets serious competition in the premium laptop market.
Exactly this ... outside of ThinkPad, many Windows hardware options have been pretty embarrassing.

Apple isn't exactly who I would point to as a good comparison. They have plenty of overdesigned pages: http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

Servers / CDNs probably were hammered.
