I was wondering about MS quality control as my son hung over my shoulder waiting to join a Minecraft session with his buddies. I was fighting yet another bad update that made the game unplayable. There’s no rollback option. The broken functionality was fundamental to actually playing so they obviously did not test.
To really rub it in they combine not testing with treating their customers like garbage. Their support actually tried repeatedly blaming my ISP as if somehow connectivity would impact user account specific issues. I eventually sent them URLs of articles pointing out the problem. Then - crickets.
For the orgs where I've worked the important thing isn't availability of compute it's security. Using what we have on our local network is much easier from a governance and approval standpoint than whatever is available on the internet.
I tried it. First kit was speced with cheap parts that didn’t really work. Got a replacement kit - same thing. Overall a really disappointing experience. I cancelled and bought a 3D printer, which has been great fun.
This is why I originally learned vi. Working on DoD machines as well as this of other consulting customers. I had a notebook of short scripts and commands that would make my life easier. I couldn't use any media or even reference the internet in many of the data centers and labs.
