OMG, maybe next they'll drop the oddball pathing notation, and use slashes like

I thought it was cute interacting with a 2012 server just now that:
1) it told me it was going to automatically restart to install updates
in 14 minutes. WTF? I had to disable windows update, stop the service,
and manually add a registry entry to keep the server from restarting in
the middle of the day. WTF?
2) powershell requires a leading period before executing a file in that
directory. While I agree with this and am used to it from *nix, does
this really belong as an application feature?
3) trying to use IE to browse a non-MS site resulted in a string of
modal windows informing me scripts are usually safe and asking me if I
want to enable them for this page. Answering yes or no doesn't matter,
you'll just get asked again.
Maybe they've fixed these things by now, this server OS is 3 years old
after all.
But be wary of Microsoft making significant changes. I like in that
article that it mentions they've rewritten asp.net from the ground up.
In my experience that means it won't be usable again for a few years.
