[QUOTE=DrTaxi;50045240]I'm pretty sure "developer stuff" includes "sysadmin stuff", they just don't want you running Apache in production on it.[/QUOTE]
I doubt there will be significant compatibility issues outside anything that touches the windows interoptiblity, such as driver and io (like they'll let you mount an windows drive, but no way they'll let you "memes" > /dev/sda)
[QUOTE=eirexe;50033068]I know the fucking stallman copypasta.
Now that I'm thinking, no one really uses windows for servers, except dumb people that think free software is bad because it's not propiertary.[/QUOTE]
They tend to be used very heavily, but in different applications. Windows servers tend to be company servers.
[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;50047018]And for me as a developer on linux this also means I can worry less about supporting windows. I'd say this is a win win situation for both platforms.

In the demo they were downloading packages from the ubuntu repository untouched. I would assume this includes everything. I'm not really sure how the X server and such would work here though. I also read a comment on msdn about wanting to communicate with windows from the environment which also wasn't possible yet.[/QUOTE]
Honestly I hope that one of the things that this does is actually make the *nix portion in windows use standard windows UI elements. Pretty much every cygwin application stands out like a sore thumb. That's not even getting into translations, where *nix applications have different standards compared to windows ones (in czech a good example is OK - in windows this is usually translated as Ok or Ano depending on the context in *nix applications you tend to see Budiž or Ano).

I'm saying I don't think they want to support the use case of running public-facing servers under LXSS and be held responsible when surprise, it's not actually fast enough to handle more than 10 concurrent users of your web app.
[QUOTE=srobins;50041124]The real question is.. When will systemd conquer Windows?[/QUOTE]
That's when I start calling for anti-trust laws to break up systemd.
Systemd is love, systemd is life. You just need to accept it into your hearts you filthy heretics.
Part of me actually wants to see it in Windows just for the giggles, but that would just confirm the damn thing is like a plague and just spreads uncontrollably.

How can you even invoke anti-trust upon an open source project?
Last time I checked, SystemD didn't force Distributions to adopt it. it was adopted by free will from the Devs of the various Linux distributions because it works well and makes the lifes of Package maintainers a lot easier.
And because it is now present in every major Linux distribution, Developers have it even more easy and convenient since there is plenty of documentation around and package maintainers don't need to write init scripts for every init system out there, since they can now just write for systemd and automatically target all the major Linux distributions.
Couldn't they have just written SysV scripts and have every init system interpret those?

(it also has phone support and addons for edge. it also has a entirely new emojis which is easily the most importiant part of the update.)
[QUOTE=Wormy;50033906]I have used Windows Server in the past and there's really nothing wrong with it, why was it a big hell?[/QUOTE]
If you tackle problems in Windows Server like you would in a Linux server, you will have a bad time. They both have completely different management styles. If you have a somewhat good understanding of how Windows actually works, Windows Server is a relative cake walk.
Except for when you hit Microsoft-ism's but not much you can do about that. And that's when you learn to use MS TechNet.
My biggest tip for administrating Windows in general is use Powershell. Once you are on an enterprise Windows network, you WILL use Powershell, especially in Exchange. There's a lot of functionality you can only access through Powershell, even the weirdest stuff. Like you can't make proper shared mailboxes through the GUI for whatever reason. :v:

Finally, though even though they're better I still prefer Google's quite a bit.
Is there any way to replace them?
