    I always forget that Windows Server even exists, because the name is so stupid. “windows” should mean “gui interface to os.”

    edit: fixed redundacy.

        The GUI is optional these days, and there’s plenty of Windows servers that don’t use it. The recommended administration approach these days is PowerShell remoting, often over SSH now that Windows has a native SSH server bundled (based on OpenSSH).

        I’d say having a GUI is not inherently stupid. The stupid part is, if I understand it correctly, the GUI being a required component and the primary access method.
