</div>You obviously have not tried to 'point and click' a few dozen iterations<br>
while installing and configuring a Windows computer. That is<br>
INCONVENIENT and takes AGES. Although it is not command line, I use<br>
keyboard shortcuts to speed up the process. Alt-N, Alt-A, Alt-I for<br>
installing dotnetfx for example. No way you can beat the keyboard. Even<br>
better if you can use command line switches to forego the entire process<br>
of "point and click". A command line version asking 'Y/N' is just as<br>
likely to be faster than any point and click too.<br>
<br>
<br>
This whole GUI for administration business is a complete sham imho and<br>
only serves the needs of paper MCSEs or whatever they call the latest<br>
version of certificates from Microsoft. These guys need to LEARN MORE<br>
whether they will continue administer Windows or move to Linux.<br>
