In a recent leak from Microsoft that The Inquirer is reporting on describes Windows Server 2016 as offering "a new headless deployment option for Windows Server". Your next generation of servers may live in containers inside CloudOS infrastructure and you will use Windows Server Core to access Powershell to remotely interface with your server. There are some downsides to this model, data which is required to be stored in a specific geographical location will not be able to take advantage of this and you will lose the ability to run a fax server. Governments and other organizations may be forking over money to Microsoft to support older versions of Windows server now or in the future if the idea of a server that you can actually sit in front of is being discouraged. As with all leaks you should take this with a grain of salt but this is certainly in line with what Microsoft's new business model seems to be.
"MICROSOFT IS PLANNING a 'Nano Server', according to the latest leaks from notorious Microsoft mole WZor."

How is all the bloatware, bloatware, bloatware, bloatware, bloatware, bloatware, bloatware, bloatware supposed to fit in all that Nano…Nano server space. NOT to make to mention of the remaining TIFKAM/TILES services and ecosystem super fishy metrics gathering code calls to the mother-ship. Something smells all super-funkey, and I don’t mean that in a finger-popping good time way. This cloud smells very sulphurous.

If the product focus of a company is pure cloud based, it is bound to fail. I will never run an infrastructure with all of my important data servers stored in a place hundreds miles away from me where I have no control.
