How time's have changed - the show starts with a look at Microsoft's history and much improved position on Linux and open-source, some questionable statements on open-source by Anthropic's CEO and a little house keeping. Then, Franck Pachot joins Mike to discuss Microsoft's newly announced Horizon DB, some Postgres goodness, Azure and the open-source of it all.

You know how every business has that one workflow held together by PDFs, spreadsheets, email threads, and someone named Dave who “just knows where everything is”?

In construction, manufacturing, and facilities, that mess shows up when a project is technically complete — but operations still does not have what they need to maintain the equipment.

The manuals are in someone’s inbox. Warranty dates are missing. Spare-parts lists are buried in a shared drive. PM guidance never made it into the CMMS. And six months later, everyone is asking, “Where is the documentation for this thing?”
