                    It looks like the purpose of this is for migration... not for running production servers on VMWare on Azure... not sure exactly what that means. If I had a production server running on VMWare, I wouldn't need to migrate it to VMWare on Azure first, before migrating it to Hyper-V.

                    I suppose if they make it so there is no down time, I can see the benefit, or maybe for migration of hundreds or thousands of servers to Azure.

                    Ah well, we'll see.

                        Imgur Hacked:

                        https://www.itnews.com.au/news/hackers-stole-data-from-17m-imgur-users-478447

                        The email addresses and scrambled passwords of 1.7 million accounts on popular image sharing site Imgur were stolen by attackers in 2014.
                         
                        The company today revealed it had been notified of the three-year old breach on November 23 when security expert Troy Hunt alerted Imgur after being sent the stolen data.

                                      A British firm has released the first photos of its Fitbit-style condom that measures a man’s performance in bed.

                                      The high-tech jimmy jacket — which looks like a small rubber bracelet — logs data during sex and sends it to the user’s smartphone, according to the creators of the i.Con Smart Condom, which released images of it Tuesday.

                                      The reusable, one-size-fits-all band measures the number of calories burned during sex, the speed of a man’s thrusts and how long he lasts, lead engineer Adam Levers told the UK Metro.
