Reading paths

Three ways to use the magazine

Pick the entry point that matches what you're trying to decide.

For procurement leads
Start with comparisons

Edition-vs-edition deep-dives, channel economics and SA value analysis — built to be pasted straight into a procurement memo.

For IT architects
Start with mechanics

Per-core mathematics, VM density rules, CAL sizing, hybrid use benefits — the underlying mechanics, with worked examples.

For executives
Start with shifts

What changed in the last release wave, what Microsoft signalled at Ignite, how the channel is repricing — twelve-minute reads at most.

Editorial

Principles every article is held to

  • Cite the source. Every claim about Product Terms links the official document and the date it was last published.
  • Show the math. Per-core counts, CAL totals and SA renewal arithmetic appear in the article, not in a hidden spreadsheet.
  • No affiliate weighting. Channel and reseller mentions are functional, never paid placements.
  • Date everything. Microsoft licensing moves every quarter — every article carries a publish date and a "checked against" version.
  • OEM stays out. We never frame standalone OEM keys as a real purchase option. Read the constraint, not the marketplace listing.
  • Audit-safe defaults. When two readings are possible, the article picks the one a Microsoft SAM auditor would accept.
