Exchange 2007

I don't usually post server related stuff, but that is what I do every day....

Microsoft sucks. I know, it isn't new news... more this is more supporting data. Case in point; Exchange 2007's use of the PowerShell.

- PowerShell is required for Exchange 2007.
- The Exchange 2007 'GUI'/console is simple a front end to the backend commands being sent through PowerShell. This makes the GUI VERY slow.


PowerShell should have been an add on to make Exchange 2007 manageable via the command line. It should not be a required part of the Exchange 2007 server.
This is where they should have taken tips from the creators of WMI or something.

Reminds me of the changes in Vista....
MS Exec: "Customers want us to add something they want...'
MS Dev: "Well we can add the feature, but we will need to remove the way it works now"
MS Exec: "That makes complete sense. Make it so."
MS Dev: "Suckers... they will never ask for more features again after this."


Microsoft needs to think before changing anything. You do all these usability studies... maybe you should include more than just NEWBIES in the study.
