Why I hate Microsoft, Part #7812940522(b)

So I go to log into a server that has been loaded with the latest Windows Server install*, and lo & behold, instead of the standardised login screen that has been used for the last 20ish years, I get a full-screen teal blue blob with a stylised icon picture of a proto-human**, and a slot for password underneath.

What on earth is this? They are aiming for the day that everyone has pictures of themselves available so graphic confirmation is available? and how exactly is this going to help security? or is it just to provide a sense of warm familiarity to the user to see a picture of themselves? (not unlike being pissed on by Microsoft staff, in that case).


* Which itself seems to be deviating sufficiently from the PCbound version of their slime as to almost qualify as a separate system with a new name, really. Worthless Prizes offered for suggestions of a new name! - my own thought was Microsoft Corrupter



**Presumably this is what suckers customers actually look like to Microsoft: faceless, futile, and feckless
