What we were delivered:

    Especially ones that can execute long-running background tasks on your machines so they don't even really have to pay for the compute except perhaps in mounting customer resentment.

    the crazy insane bizarre thing about Microsoft is that they could literally use the world's computers for anything. At one point Windows Update scanned networks even with multicast disabled and located other Windows machines, solely to exchange update blobs without straining the distribution servers and the network.
