    What do you like best about the product?
    Windows Server 2016 Core, a streamlined variant of the Windows Server OS, offering several benefits compared to the GUI installation. A notable advantage is its reduced attack surface: by fewer components and services, it diminishes the potential entry points for cyber threats.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    No GUI: Windows Server Core lacks a graphical interface, complicating tasks for GUI-oriented admins.
    Learning Curve: Requires command-line expertise, a challenge for novices.
    Setup Complexity is another challenge.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    This inherently enhances security, making it particularly valuable for internet-facing servers. Furthermore, the leaner design contributes to reduced maintenance demands. The need for updates and patches is minimized, simplifying the patching process and decreasing downtime.
