WTF People. 13% This is SO basic and talked about SO often.
Actually that question is vaguely worded. Who has heard of a dual core processor in modern times?
They exist. But there is nothing vague at all. It's Windows Server 2016, the minimum is 16 cores to license, so the lowest number of packs of two is eight. Nothing vague.
Exist and exist in common use are two completely different things.
They are pretty common. but that's irrelevant. How does dual core procs being uncommon make the question any harder OR vague in any way?
-
Quad core procs are not uncommon and the question would have been just as hard and used all the same logic. Are you saying that asking it with four cores would not have been vague?

Because you take people out of what is "known" and expect them to think. Duh.

People being dumb is not related to the question being vague. That's not what vague means.

Before posting this comment, I had to look up a doc to make sure my memory of a 16-core minimum was correct

That's honestly one of the best questions I've seen someone post. It's very clear what the answer is, and they even made the red herring portion of the question so obviously over the top, as you pointed out, that they should have known something was wrong just from that. They went way out of their way to make it obvious where the bit to be ignored was. If anything, they made it too easy. Do the same question with quad core procs or hexacore and it would get even less correct, I bet.

But you knew that there was a minimum to check, which is all the question is really asking.

That's my thinking. This gets discussed so often, I can't believe that so many people are getting it wrong. There have always been minimums for MS licensing in this way. it's not a new thing at all.

@JaredBusch Yep. While I trust my memory, why not verify the knowledge before I post on a public forum, especially when I can find the doc in a few seconds?

Muted for this? How benign can a post be?

You were totally agreeing with him. You even said "I agree." Those were your first 2 words.
-
@scottalanmiller Seems less inflammatory than me admitting I doubled-checked a number before making a post.

It's because that Bill guy is so aggressive, I got swept along in him being muted

So many possible definitions to that... please don't make me have to bleach my brain.
