As former Windows person who still uses fair amount of Powershell on Linux, I was interested.<p>However, reading the summary left me confused like you don't understand what's happening at Microsoft.<p>> Hopefully Microsoft will spend more time in the future on their server product strategy and less on Copilot ;-)<p>The future product strategy is clear, it's Linux for servers. .Net runs on Linux, generally with much better performance. Microsoft internally on Azure is using Linux a ton and Windows Server is legacy and hell, MSSQL is legacy. Sure, they will continue to sell it because if you want to give them thousands of dollars, they would be idiots to turn it down but it's no longer a focus.

Typical approach on an HV server is to disable C States, set power management to high, etc preventing x86 from downclocking. Keeping the CPU from seesawing can have big improvements.<p>But you’re not going to do that in a lab/personal machine, usually.
