Windows Server 2016 is going to be a huge awful mess just like Windows8.2=10
It is the same crap all over again.
How Microsoft managed to turn Windows into a dangerous virus

The real question here is ... who is behind all these rumors telling that the Intel XPoint would be a huge disappointment and Intel just kept lying , uh?
Competitors indeed.
Competitors selling the unreliable NAND Flash crap SSD do not want Intel/Micron 3D XPoint technology to succeed because if that happens they would start losing money and would have to quickly spend billions trying to come up with a competing technology as fast and reliable as the 3D XPoint is going to be.
The SSD NAND are overpriced unreliable mostly defective products. The industry is full of cheaters and thieves selling the worst.
Killing the childish awful unusable Metro/ModernUI nonsense would be a good thing indeed and a 3D UI is what Windows should have had long time ago ***BUT*** forcing users to get a VR headset ???
Seriously?
THAT IS JUST PLAIN STUPID. Way worse than the Metro/ModernUI crap already.
The VR headsets facade is going to die quicker than the fake 3D stereoscopic glasses crap.
So Microsoft wants Windows users to get an headache and puke while using Windows thanks to the crap VR headsets, uh?
Microsoft managers and CEO must be on some heavy drugs these days.
Expensive 60TB or 100TB MLC NAND is just wasting money. Unreliable for any proper professional enterprise use.
Enterprise class SLC is the bare minimum type of NAND to be used to get some reliability.
3D XPoint is going to make sense buying expensive 60TB, 100TB or 500TB or higher config.
NAND even SLC is a huge risk. Anything MLC and TLC is just useless.
Since the Metro/ModernUI plague Microsoft has been unable to design a usable good UI.
And this proves it once again.
All their UIs just plain suck. The flat thing for them is just a way to go ultra cheap than not even an alpha prototype crap software should look so bad.
Consumer hard disk drives have rarely been so expensive and surely not in the last 15 years or so.
Selling at sky high prices products like hard disks even the consumer models that rarely last more years than their warranty is a huge mistake business wise.
Hard Disk drives should be cheap and manufacturers should earn from huge quantities sold first.
Enterprise models being expensive is a minor issue for most large businesses that can afford buying thousands if not millions each year anyway.
With prices so high Seagate is losing millions of customers.
No software patching crap can fix a bad hardware design.
The RX 480 is not PCI-Express compliant !
It isn't a safe product to use either because it can destroy the motherboard.
So a software bug in any new driver release and the fix couldn't work either... so safe.. uh?
AMD must not be allowed to get away with this !
They should replace all the defective cards. Re-design the RX 480 and stop selling the defective designs. Period.
Sales and marketing staff is a shameful thing. Only a few are needed actually and if and when with their "tricks" find a way to be in charge of any business the results always are worse products, bad customers supprot and a lot of money stolen inside the group.
So firing most of them is a very good thing.
Now Intel can hire more engineers and programmers.
The fake next-gen consoles facade keeps going...
More obsolete cheap hardware from AMD that without these illegal scam operations with Sony and Microsoft to sell fake next-gen consoles to sheep believing the fake numbers and marketing lies would have gone bankrupt long time ago already.
4K gaming on what? An AMD APU ? Polaris GPU ? Zen cores (which won't even match a Core i5) ?
A Nvidia 1080 is the bare minimum to play games at a sustained true 4K 30fps to 45fps average. That along with an Intel Core i7 6-core CPU indeed.
The AMD Polaris GPUs don't have a chance to even guarantee proper 2K 60fps gaming. At best 1080p 60fps is the only thing they can achieve. Go figure!
So XBox One Scorpio and Playstation4 Neo are going to be just the continuation of the current fake next-gen consoles fraud. Nothing more than that.
Sony, Microsoft and AMD CEOs and managers must be put in jail where they belong.
3D NAND is a dead thing. 3D XPoint might kill the HDUs in a few years...
The NAND flash technology has always been unreliable and just plain bad. It is a waste of money and only idiots would put any enterprise mission critical system running on NAND flash based drives only whatever the RAID level used.
3D XPoint maybe 10 years from now might be able to replace the Hard Disk drives and kill them. Surely not sooner anyway.
The fake Google ecosystem that is the huge Android fraud with the illegal use of Java by Google won't survive going closed source and having OEMs obliged to do what Google tells them to.
So far Google managed to make money with the mess they created only thanks to using devices to spy on customers and resell data along with ads.
If now they piss off their gang of manufacturers their fraud system will just collapse quickly.
They might have a chance to shut it down completely and creating something else maybe But forcing anything on the Android mess is going to backfired badly. They are doomed to be destroyed by their own mess.
The corrupted justice system made of mad judges and lawyers with brains fried by drugs use/abuse. Some really heavy drugs indeed.
All these judges and lawyers should be killed as traitors and replaced with some better people. This is a corrupted dangerous justice system that is just killing all of us. The world is getting worse thanks to these criminals. And the real criminals love them so much because these bad people are helping terrorists and criminals of all sorts 24/7 and that can't keep going on forever, either these get terminated or the world ends due to them.
Microsoft doesn't care about the noise.
They think to be untouchables because they have full protection of corrupted politicians and judges and because they don't care about their customers nor quality of their products.
Noise will change nothing.
Microsoft must disappear. They deserve to. Enough is enough.
It is time for Microsoft to disappear.
The Surface crap is just like the Windows8.0, 8.1 and 8.2=10 crap and the WindowsPhone crap all with the Metro/ModernUI unusable childish nonsense.
People must stop buying anything from Microsoft.
Manufacturers cheating and hiding money... That is what is really happening.
People buy more HDUs and SSD now than ever before. And faster internet connections in major countries means higher demand.
The enterprise sector needs more drives and data centers for cloud services or not need to buy more units.
So these manufacturers now claiming to be losing money and no one buying drives anymore are just liars and telling b*ll.
Corrupted multinationals managers. That is the real issues.
And the myth that no one would be buying Hard Disk Drives anymore... the biggest lie ever.
Only Intel/Micron 3D XPoint could in the future kill the Hard Disk Drive. But that isn't going to happen anytime soon anyway. For sure 3D XPoint is going to kill the unreliable NAND SSD tech.
"Windows simply cannot do what Linux can do under the hood and the old Windows Unix subsystem and Cygwin show the limitations."
VMS can do everything UNIX systems do under the hood. VMS was created as the main competitor to UNIX in the first place.
WindowsNT is a new version of VMS that Microsoft paid the creator of VMS to write for them.
"Then, in order for this to make sense, you have to change the tapes. And THIS is the problem. Somebody changing tapes is EXPENSIVE."
Nonsense. If you need more tapes you buy a tape loader LTO drive and not a single unit. They are more expensive indeed but it is not a consumer type product.
LTO tape drives are speed adaptive anyway, if maximum sustained drive speed can't be achieve from the source the drive would just slow down.
You are the one emotionally driven here with your childish crusade against LTO tape archiving trying to tell that no one would be buying it and even LTO-8 won't happen.
You don't have a clue.
Data Center and Enterprise business sectors need LTO tape archiving. Without it costs would quadruple or worse.
You are babbling nonsense silly stats and numbers based on nothing trying to disprove reality.
It is not that the LTO tapes have just been released on the market now! It is its 7th generation.
Also IBM and Sun Oracle still have their own proprietary high-end tape archiving formats which are not LTO and they aren't going to stop releasing new higher capacity models in the coming years.
And you keep telling that no one is buying the drives and it is a declining market and other nonsense.
There is nothing better to replace tape drives technology. And there won't be anything for the next 10 years or more at least.
If a new better technology appears on the market surely the tapes tech might be in trouble and stop being developed BUT until then either tapes or waste of money and lack of reliability for anyone that is not doing his/her job properly in any Data Center or Enterprise.

Re: Incorrect extrapolation - wrong commercial understanding
All you have done is re-iterate "I see good technical reasons to go on buying this stuff"
I don't know your sector and have no reason to disbelieve you.
I do not dispute that it "would" still be cheaper in 10 years time* [for some customers]
I do dispute that anyone will (or is) investing 100M of their own money to make it for you. Low margins and a *shrinking* market. I've done loads of pitches, and I've just never seen one proposing to invest for a shrinking tech. Ever. They are all either - this market grows by 10% CAGR and will go on doing so forever; or this market is heading for the stars - 60% CAGR, disruptive play, blah
This is a pure numbers game % ROI. Take the emotion out."
YOU CLEARLY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!
Yeah kill LTO and just use HDUs... Seriously? So why aren't Data Centers, Enterprises doing that right now? Why didn't they do it in the past years?
SIMPLE.
Hard Disk Drives and SSDs are far less reliable for any archive purposes than high-end enterprise class tapes like the LTO standard.
And archiving on LTO is a lot cheaper too. And it will still be cheaper in the next 5 or 10 years at least.
The upcoming Intel 3D XPoint might be able to deliver some reliable SSD drives (because NAND flash sucks big time) but it will still be a lot more expensive for many years than LTO tapes and it might never get as cheap as the tapes.
Your dreams are far from reality.
LTO-8 and LTO-9 and LTO-10 are going to happen regardless of what you think or expect which clearly is anything you have no clue about.

"What do I think data centres would do without tape?
In the long term (like 2025), use slightly more expensive cold-stored HDD.
*some* cloudy stuff is archived on tape, but most (by data volume) is not. The info is all in the article. Tape is a minority interest.
8 and 9 don't exist (obvs). The roadmap exists. The tooling does not. hardware isn't made by leprechauns.
I wrote it above, exactly: there are customers who do want tape. But "want", and "are prepared to treble or quadruple their spend, to cost share the r and d with a declining industry" are different.
I expect you "want" it, and your business will be slightly spannered when tape dies. But I'm equally sure that if you ask your boss - hey, can you just sign off this budget for $30M , to fund this other companies r and d, they will laugh. Point is, *theres no one to split the bill with, there just aren't enough customers in your position, with deep enough pockets*
That's the way capitalism works"
"And there won't be an 8 or 9, because the market size doesn't justify even $10M R&D to develop it.
By 2021-2022 it will be apparent that all current tape generations are uneconomic to produce for that reducing market volume."
What nonsense are you babbling about? Are you unable to read or what?
LTO-8 , LTO-9 and LTO-10 have been planned and announced already.
What do you think data centers would do without LTO tape drives? Where would they put thousands if not millions of PetaBytes of data in the next years, uh? SSDs ? HDUs ? Optical media? There is nothing better and cheaper than LTO tape drives for reliable enterprise class data archiving and there won't be for many years.
And for anyone thinking "on the cloud" ... think twice. Cloud services use thousands of LTO tape drives in their data centers otherwise they wouldn't be able to archive a damn thing.
Wrong.
LTO tape drives don't need to write at sustained maximum speed. If you don't mind the backup taking a longer time you can use slow drives and NAS on network as the source.
Anyway just adding a couple consumer SATA hard disk drives in cheap RAID-0 configuation would be more than enough for up to LTO-6 at least.
LTO-7 to achieve maximum speed at least two hard disks with a 200MByte/s sustained transfer rate.
LTO tape drives must be expensive. Otherwise they wouldn't be as reliable. Cheaper means lower quality components being used.
Anyway although the drives are expensive the tapes are really cheap. And the transfer rate is faster than most hard disks and the new LTO-7 is faster than most SSDs too.
A new LTO-5 drive (1500GByte tapes native capacity) can be bought for 1200Euros and tapes price is around 20Euros.
A new LTO-6 drive (2500GByte tapes native capacity) can be bought for 1500-1600Euros and tapes price is around 45Euros.
A new LTO-7 drive (6000GByte tapes native capacity) can be bought for 2500Euros and tapes price is around 120Euros.
Used LTO-3 tape drives (400GBytes native capacity) on eBay sell for just 50 to 100Euros on average.
While used LTO-4 tape drives (800GBytes native capacity) for 150-250Euros on average.
"How about lying about the user tracking? It was supposed to happen only in the beta, but made it's way into the production version.
And it cannot be completely deactivated by the user in the non-pro versions."
Telemetry can't be deactivated on the Pro and Enterprise versions of Windows10 either.
Microsoft allows to disable only what they expose to the public on their atrocious mess of an UI *but* there are so many hidden services tracking users inside the OS and doing the worst.
Even using some third party utilities like DoNotSpy10 to disable all the malware and telemetry crap inside Windows8.2=10 there is no guarantee that a lot more remains active. Until discovered there could always be more and Microsoft keeps adding malware and telemetry tracking with new hotfixes.
