The same feeling here. It feels like every new release of Windows always
feels: everything is so different, and you need to go through rather steep
learning curve just to learn how to find necessary tools. Which in case of
Windows appears to be mere re-shuffling of the same old tools. Of course,
RHEL/CenOS are different...

Just not sure: should I add "rant" tags, or sent it as is ;-(
