Hey!
I am going to replace one of my servers, but I can't decide if I should go with WS12R2 or WS16. I would love to have all the new stuff especially http/2.
But the new update system is just an nightmare. I have a custom application running that should be shutdown correct to prevent data loss with forced updates (+ forced auto restart) in the new server OS this will cause an huge problem. Also I am a bit afraid of the upcoming feature updates. Windows 10 has already shown that the feature updates basically reinstall the OS which tacks forever, reset some settings and remove installed applications that Microsoft doesn't like. And that is an absolute no-go for me, especially on a server.
So I was wondering, what's your opinion/experience on this?
