Many people are reporting similar experiences across the web. All sharing stories of weekly patching taking hours and sometimes ending in hung welcome screens. Some of these threads started a year ago and are still active, with no response from Microsoft addressing the issue. If you use Server 2016, have you experienced this problem?

    So instead of being competent and just using linux you wasted all those peoples time while ordering them around to do stupid silly things? I've had bosses like you before, we make fun of you because your myopic about just how silly and disastrous the whole setup is when we all know you could just run linux. It makes us think you must be mentally handicapped to not just go use the blindingly obvious solution sitting right under your nose and instead make everyone run around trying to keep some crappy Frankenstein monster alive with patches and CPR.

    Just for once, just because you are the guy I need to say it to:

    STOP FUCKING AROUND AND USE LINUX SO EVERYONE CAN GET THEIR MOTHER FUCKING GODDAMN WORK DONE YOU STUPID STUPID SON OF A BITCH
