What was Microsoft thinking when they incorporated the &quot;Shutdown tracker&quot;? You know that dumb screen that pops up when you want to reboot the server and asks you why you want to reboot.

Killing the Shutdown Tracker

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
