OK, so how are they going to get there?

Astral projection? Broomsticks?
Seriously, sending unmanned satellites into lunar orbit is not that difficult.

Never heard of them before. Is Microsoft their only customer?

Looking at the languages they talk in the article about MS might be their only non-customer.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Windows updates: Still annoying but now more environmentally conscious. They're going to stop "rolling coal" when downloading?
|
|

Mixed signals on this one. I think Satya informed his windows update team "We need new clear instructions for implementing windows updates in the future"

People are often baffled why enterprise software is slow, uses lots of memory, and is generally a pain to work with. Enterprise developers?
I'd assume it's because "Because we have the source code, let's add this one more feature. And this one. And that special case." etc.

|
|
|
Nobody will mind that "I" use this 30MB package so I can use this one tiny feature.

Because people who actually use enterprise software have no say in software purchasing decisions.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Researchers with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have shown for the first time how to design the basic elements needed for logic operations using a kind of material called a liquid crystal—paving the way for a completely novel way of performing computations. And if you hold it upside-down, it spells 'HELLO'

The Data-Oriented Language for Sane Software Development. "I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die. "
And the language is also metal!
"Odin now officially supports both the Metal API and Direct3D 11 & 12 out-of-the box! This makes Odin currently the only language that officially supports all of the major graphics APIs: OpenGL, Vulkan, Direct3D11, Direct3D12, Metal, and WebGL 1 & 2."
