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.
Ah hahahaha!!!
Windows! Some dumbass put Windows on a supercomputer!
Prob Microsoft themselves
Ironically, even Microsoft uses Linux in its Azure datacenters, iirc
They use a mixture of Windows and Linux. They do use Linux quite a bit, but they also have a lot of Hyper-V servers.
Apple uses both Linux and Windows (not for datacenters) too.
Good point.
But still, the 30% efficient supercomputer.
I don’t think either of the chart’s axes list efficiency?
A supercomputer running Windows HPC Server 2008 actually ranked 23 in TOP500 in June 2008.
I always forget that Windows Server even exists, because the name is so stupid. “windows” should mean “gui
interfaceto os.”edit: fixed redundacy.
But Windows Server has GUI. Although a server having GUI (not webui, desktop) is kinda stupid

Probably need one, just for the benchmark comparisons.
And Mac! Whatever that means 🤣
Oh Xserve, we hardly knew ye 😢
