Why Microsoft thinks IT people want that sort of interface on the server side mystifies me.

Fortunately you can still do a server core installation, which does away with the GUI completely -- but I wish W2K12 offered a middleground option.
I would be curious to see if MS did make some more enterprise friendly interface/option for Windows 9. I just don't see many businesses making any jump to Windows 8. Most of them just jumped to Windows 7 not more than a year or so ago.
