When the pundits (NYTimes and various trade rags) start gushing about how cool it is, I get skeptical. Server 8 sounds like it has some definite improvements, however. I will have to try that, for sure. Bottom line: They've changed around the interface again, and hidden all my tools. They seem to take as their baseline for UI design someone who's never seen a computer before, and see what works for them. Stuipd, IMHO. Ah, well, as long as I can attach a keyboard and get to a command prompt that has reasonable power and is reasonably well documented, I'll be able to reconcile myself to it.
