Enterprise pick of the week: The Empire strikes back (over SAP)
There's been noise lately about whether SAP is going to continue to say its preferred cloud is Azure (or if it will default to customer choice). Today, Microsoft struck back with a blog post of its own on the matter, proclaiming SAP is all in on Azure
Codename pick of the week: Fire Steel
Fire Steel is an internal Microsoft tool related to Windows 11 development. Windows Central's Zac Bowden said Fire Steel is what MS is using to build "Cherry Hill" (experience packages for Win11) for Sun Valley.
Beer pick of the week: Transmitter T1 Triple
Belgian triples are excellent. I hadn't had one for a while but this past weekend had an excellent one from Transmitter, an NYC brewery. 9.1%, lots of Belgian yeast, stone fruit flavor.
