==> You’re not running it on Linux, you’re running it on Azure. You’ll be CONNECTING to it from Linux. But not running it there.

True, but for most users, that distinction is a total who-cares.

You and I and a few other techies care, for sure. All my Windows work these days is over RDP, from Linux and sometimes a Mac. Who cares, as long as I can get to my Outlook, and manage the Win servers.

Until your internet goes out and you can’t get to your machine.

Yeah, it’s a distinction 90% of the world doesn’t comprehend. But it is actually a pretty big distinction. Like the fact that, if you pony up the cash, you can run dozens of machines on Azure and not impact your desktop’s performance. Plus of course ZDNet is SUPPOSED to be a tech rag, they really should get the little things right.

"as I can get to my Outlook"


I'm curious why you aren't using Thunderbird instead of M$ Outlook?
