I have vacation so I can listen in on & off the next 3 days.

I probably won't understand all too much, but that's how I have always learned stuff about Windows.

Like when I surf TechNet or Dev Network or Hardware Dev Center and all those other "hidden" parts of Microsoft.
I always pick a little something up.

I almost forgot that it starts today

This is amazing learning what coding and software & deployment testing goes on creating Microsoft software and Windows.
25,000 developers for Windows alone

Notice she was using Chrome for the SQL Studio presentation?

Another Chrome user, I guess Edge just isn't stable enough for Azure
