- Cloud: More on Microsoft's Azure-in-a-shipping-container MDC
- More SolarWinds fallout: Microsoft says hackers viewed some of its source code but didn't try to attack the corporate domain.
- Xbox: Microsoft to address Series X|S shortages, RIP Minecraft Earth, the first Game Pass titles of 2021, and Bloomberg's piece on Xbox's creation and 20-year history.
