Hopefully I am not reposting this news, but an interesting article about the future of Windows Powershell vs Powershell Core: https://blog.ipswitch.com/end-of-the-road-for-windows-powershell.
I've been using Powershell Core for a while now on my Mac and Fedora. I haven't tried it on Windows yet.

It's not great on Windows. I wish it would integrate better like PSv5 does.

Another interesting read: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/03/microsoft-will-soon-start-shipping-the-intel-spectre-microcode-fixes/.
Interesting line that may cause a ton of headaches for the less informed: "Microsoft is also warning, again, that all Windows updates now require the use of a compatible, up-to-date anti-virus program. ...Systems without a compatible anti-virus application won't have the registry key, and, hence, those won't receive any further Windows Updates."

There are cases, but they are rare. For one there is different compatibility - there are things that run on VirtualBox that won't on KVM (and vice versa.) Or in cases where you can't run KVM libraries.

If you're building a VM that is going to run on another OS. At a prior job we leaned heavily on VirtualBox because we had Windows, Linux, and macOS hosts.

Vagrant. Not sure how that works with KVM, but it is well integrated with VBox.

FBI trying again to get encryption circumvented for American citizens.
With this stance, I think any system the FBI purchases or builds themselves needs to have a key escrow system that the american people can use at will whenever they feel the FBI is up to know good.

FBI has a nickname of Feebs, a play on the word feeble. I wonder why.
