James,
If you have an issue with the facts start a conversation about it privately or in the Tech section. Anyone who has dealt with MS in the enterprise [5000-10000+ users] will talk about the disparity between corporate IT run and departmental servers. Our commitment to our clients is to make the most of what they have with what they can afford.
Also I'll call BS on patching/hacking enterprise *nix servers. I auto update BSD/Ubuntu servers for years at a time without restarting. That is a constraint of the Windows OS architecture, not the hardware.
AC runs on Windows, so QED you make the most of what you have to deal with in a given set of constraints.
