What’s next? Hopefully, Microsoft won’t start injecting a poll at shutdown demanding to know why I’m turning my PC off for the day.

Well, if you decide to run Windows Server, I have news for you...

    What, really? I was planning on learning Windows server for educational purposes and sysadmin skills....soon....probably.... some time soon...in the near future....hopefully.... maybe.... if I have time....

    Jokes aside I was going to...one day... but this just completely turns me off. WHY? Why would I tell M$ and wby would I allow a piece of software running on MY Hardware to ask me for a reason to shut it down, the sheer f**king audacity. To quote John Malkovitch from that one scene in some show where a Windows update prevents people from stopping an asteroid, meaning Earth is screwed because Windows update: "FUCK MICROSOFT!!!!"

    In fairness, it's so there's a log of why the machine was shut down. It's for the sysadmins in charge rather than Microsoft. In practice, most people just choose "Other" as the reason so it's fairly useless. I have no idea if there's a way to turn it off, though.

    Where are Windows servers actually being used? I've never come across one.
