===Boot-up===

We help this hopes

===Microsoft Ignite 21H2===

Defender madness - so many confusing name changes!

Multi-Cloud MultiBall

"Now, native support for multicloud environments is available through the extension of Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection capabilities to Amazon Web Services (AWS)."…Do other clouds actually want Microsoft to butt in?

Actual quote from someone (Mary Jo Foley?) at Microsoft: "It's like a Big Mac: Have it Your Way"

Tiff's experience working at Wendy's

LOOP THERE IT IS

Does it replace OneNote?? (No)

Does it replace Whiteboard? (Maybe?)

Clarification: Loop is an Office app.

The feature imparity between Windows and Mac versions of certain Office apps

MS Roadmap updated and has moved MS Teams connect to March 2022, I just want shared channels.

Speed/ease of use - When people choose illogical/unexpected solutions

Remember Viva?

PowerShell's store version versus the standalone MSI version

Frustrating differences between them

VS Code integration for Store version is off

Running as a different user can get hairy

Just install the MSI version, the Store version is annoying

Installing PowerShell on macOS via HomeBrew is fantastic

===This is the way===

Microsoft presents for a long time about why passwords suck

Types of Passwordless auth

Unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch

iOS Security Guide - Page 8 - Passcode supersedes biometrics at first boot

Are passwords and policies truly worthless?

Counterpoint: They have their place in the correct use cases.

===State of the Zunion===
