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.
