Finally, the resource utilization gains of cloud computing start to appear…
A longterm annoyance of enterprise IT is that modern ‘online’ systems typically need to be sized MUCH larger than their normal demands to handle uneven loads. Even without a lot of serious old-timers who remember how batch-oriented workloads could reach quite satisfying utilization levels, we look at our 32-core machines running at 0.02 load average and know that it is wrong.

Microsoft are putting AI in everything, but why can't Outlook spot an event with a date and time in an email and tell me if my calendar is free then?
It'd be awesome if some companies thought about Really Useful AI and not just creepy capitalism
I have no idea how Microsoft gets away with this over the decades. Every time I turn on my Windows box (well, it's just a disk, which I slide into a spare NUC when I need to do something Windows) it takes hours before it is ready to do something useful for me.
It's like the market opportunity has passed before Windows is willing to assist.
