The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells are fun, most are short novellas

I had to support live meeting in a 80k seat org at the time and it was an awful piece of software. Quite often it would fail to launch, the Outlook plugin would fail to load.

I would buy an electric car but the problem I have living in a terraced house is charging it. I don’t have off road parking and the street I’m on can’t easily accommodate chargers on the pavement.

> My greatest concern is that Microsoft will attempt to lockdown their OS

I’m not sure that will happen, they attempt it with Windows S and it went nowhere
