I think Power BI is part of 'Cloud Platform System', which is in the list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Power_Platform

I'm not sure what the CPS is.

https://petri.com/overview-of-microsoft-cloud-platform-system/

Power BI is sort of tied in with SSRS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_Server_Reporting_Services

Like a lot of the report systems SSRS is about as user friendly as a rabid
pitbull.

https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/microsoft-power-bi

You do have to know your way around the database but I think you could
turn a reasonably savvy middle manager loose with it after minimal
instruction. That's not happening with SSRS, Crystal, Jasper, and so
forth. You would feel right at home; the query macros are pretty much like
Excel.

Were you triggered because you weigh 787?

Let say that the major part of this list is only different versions of
the same product. I'll try o remember that when you say there are too
many Linux distros.

If you consolidate the list by removing versions and associated products
meant for different use cases, it's still around 150 product lines that
have collectively generated more than $2,000,000,000,000 for the
Microsoft Corp, and employed many tens of thousands of people.

GuhNoo hobbyists can't compete.

Right now distrowatch lists 165 active x86_64 desktop Linux distros.

But 8-10 distros make up 90% of Linux desktop users.

What's the lesson here?

People fork for the sake of forking rather than to improve anything.

They want to have some signature release, yeah, I'm fine with just

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

Any hobbyist can create a distro? What was the one you were touting a
while back that a guy created so his father could easily install it and
play games on Linux?

The lesson? Linux is open source and people are free do what they want with
it. No justification needed for forking it.

Choice is good.

Exactly. Many distributions are created for specific purposes. There's even
one distribution created just for fixing boot issues, aptly named
"boot-repair-disk."

Choice is good. Open source freedom is good. (Note to Windows users, it's
not "scary" at all.)

It is great in theory, but everyone seems to want to have their own
distribution so rather than working together for a common goal, they're
working apart. Theoretically, the improvements go into the same pool no
matter what but I wonder if they actually do.

I don't know if it will happen but I read an article this morning that
Russia is forking the Linux kernel as a fork you to Torvalds.

Will the Russians follow the GPL? :-D

It's already happened:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astra_Linux

The Chinese (CCP) have already long ago forked GNU/Linux:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kylin_(operating_system)

North Korea has done the same:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS

Are they GPL?

Don't matter. If you disagree you'll be executed.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

I encourage Russia to do so. As I posted in the Lunduke Locals page, I
would encourage every country under the sun to strongly limit its
reliance on Western technology. We've already seen what can be done with
technology that passes through Israel. The United States is now showing
that it is ready and willing to cause you all sorts of issues if you
don't play ball with its demands.

So far they pay lip service to it in Astra Linux.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astra_Linux

Russia, China, or any other country that the US might sanction at the drop
of a hat would be stupid not to have a plan. China has Kylin, based on
Ubuntu. Cuba's Nova has been on again and off again. Like DFS they really
prefer Windows if they can get it. Then there's North Korea's Red Star OS.
I'm sure that's all sorts of free and open with their fork of Firefox.
