Isn't there always a debate between um if we have Linux on Azure, we'll sell more Azure?
But in the Windows, people say, Yeah, but you're hamstring, you know, Windows Server.

There are other places, uh, you know, Microsoft Flight Simulator is not available on the PlayStation, it's available on the Xbox.

I think around 200,000.
