Azure Stack HCI (Hyperconverged Infrastructure) is here. It’s a new option for virtualizing workloads on-premises on Win Server 2019 while connecting to the cloud.

Enterprise pick of the week No. 2:  Microsoft Connected Vehicle platform – an update

Microsoft’s been talking about its Connected Car/Connected Vehicle platform for several years. Before the end of 2019, the first cars using it should finally be available at scale.

Beer pick of the week: New Belgium Fat Tire amber ale

Women’s history month (March) is ending soon. How about a beer pick from a woman-owned brewery? Fort Collins, Colo.-based New Belgium Brewing is one such company, with co-founder Kim Jordan was at the helm for ages. And one of their most widely available (even in cans now) and easy drinking beers is Fat Tire, an amber ale.

    <p>Enjoyed the show, as usual. So, the issue of what to call Chromium-based Edge in articles and discussions has come up several times on Thurrott.com and now on WW. Over at windowscentral.com, they just use the browser's code name, "Anaheim." This seems like the simplest option for now. At the start of an article, just indicate the code name and then use it from there on out. Anything's better than using dumb mash-ups like "Chredge" or Mehedi's unfortunate favorite, "Edgium." In a year, this won't matter, as the current form of Edge won't exist.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#416222">In reply to Fuller1754:</a></em></blockquote><p>But how will the masses know it’s a new edge unless it’s given a new name? Will there be another MS quality advertising campaign for it?</p>

    <p>I think this was touched on in the WW episode but I recently purchased a few Surface 3 4G models I still found new because they work so fell for us here at work and were cheaper than the Surface Go. They still had Windows 8. I ran the Windows 10 Media Creator and they upgraded to 10 for free. Tested the same on a Windows 7 PC and it worked as well. </p>
