Power BI Community
There’s a new Power BI Community Site is now online at http://community.powerbi.com. Microsoft may eventually build this site out into a full, “one-stop-shop” for all things Power BI related. You’ll also see announcements for things like webinars, videos, training and hands-on-labs, as well as information covered by PASS BA and Power BI user groups. The Community Site is also intended to aid non-technical business users and data-savvy business analyst users, not just hardcore techies. Those folks already have TechNet forums and Developer sites.
Hackers? No, patches! A Bad Day at the NYSE
The NYSE had a very bad day last week in what, at first glance, appeared to be hackers but in fact was simple human error around a software upgrade. Includes quotes from Michael Corey (b | t), Thomas LaRock (b | t), and yours truly. Read it at DBTA.com. What are your experiences with software upgrades? Are they a smooth and easy process? Or are they an afterthought that usually requires some form of customization and hand-holding?
