      Windows Server is rather common in large enterprise software. All the stuff you pray you never have to interface with

        It sure is convenient. You get a user friendly GUI. But the stability, the resource intensity and the spyware. It’s really a retarded decision to build your servers on Windows Server.

          Yes, but some software, and it’s usually a financial application, requires a Windows Server.

          I’ve seen it more than once, as I had to set up the machine, I was dying inside, but there was just no alternative that the accounting could use.

      It’s really common. The IT people know how to use Windows, and they need Active Directory to manage their Windows devices, so they just use Windows Server.
