More like C: \> instpkg32.exe /DefaultSettings:ALL_DEFAULTS C: \> Cryptically named command with verbose arguments, that then goes on to fire a GUI window that requires manual intervention: that's the Microsoft way.
Not Any More, so we're told. I hope they prove it.

Wow, what's next, ability to shift-ctrl+c & shift-ctrl+v text in the console just by default?

The release notes here ( https://github.com/OneGet/oneget/blob/master/release-notes.m... ) show a few mentions of defining and getting dependencies. I'm going to guess the answer is 'yes'.
Dependency management is more than 'defining and getting dependencies'. What if package X relies on version 1 of package A, and and package Y relies on version 2 of package A. Will they work together, each in an isolated sandbox, or will you have dependency conflicts? Package management is a really difficult problem to solve, which linux package managers have barely been able to solve. In addition to this, each progr…

It's been nearly a decade since I managed any Windows servers. I'm more than willing to believe there are features of modern Windows systems that I don't know about. Perhaps you can fill me in on what I've been missing...I assume you're implying there is some equivalent to yum or apt-get on Windows that allows easily updating system and third-party packages from the command line without human intervention? And, do mo…
I've thankfully never seen a Windows Server with Flash, Reader, iTunes or VirtualBox installed, sounds like a security nightmare waiting to happen regardless updates. I also see lots of insecure and outdated applications running on Linux servers, especially Wordpress, Drupal, myphpadmin, cPanel etc. Heartbleed and Shellshock themselves are still not patched in a good percentage of servers.
What software do you run on your Windows servers? And, how does it get updated?

I'll believe it when they let me resize the cmd window

Wow what a snarky article! I guess Extremetech does not like Linux at all...

If Windows 10 was built on top of Linux I'd get a lot more excited. GPL would make that impossible. There are reasons OS X is based on BSD, and not all of them are about technical superiority.
Android is built on Linux, and it seems to do just fine despite the kernel being GPL'd.
