Gone in favor of a less useful interface Powershell commands. Fantastic!

Great, now I'll have to Google Bing for a four-line command when before I could just dig through a few menus.

I mean, if there's still gonna be command line commands for all the features then there's no reason why a 3rd party couldn't make a gui app for them and recreate the control panels app

they should call it, get this, control panel

For the investor's sake, I think it should be called the HyperPanel

Good point ... unless MS manages to cripple that capability somehow.

Powershell at first seems to be weird and clunky, but after you get used to its syntax you can quickly look up and use its commands without much guessing.

Finally linux will have parity in useability with windows.

No, it's already more usable. You're not bound to a GUI or hidden, indiscoverable incantations.

I felt the /s was implied but clearly enough people actually believe that linux is only for people who master arcane command lines that it could be taken as a genuine belief.

Well then it's guess which is the one to use now or which os those commands are naively installed and which need to be installed
