Microsoft Urges Businesses to Abandon Office Perpetual Licenses
microsoft.com — Blog PostMicrosoft 365 Blog 4 MIN READIs it time to upgrade from Microsoft Office? Everything you need to know.bryallenMicrosoftApr 01, 2025As a leader of a small or medium-sized business, you may have invested in Microsoft Office years ago through a perpetual license or “on-premises” version to equip your team with essential productivity apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Over the years, these familiar tools have become ingrained in your daily operations—so much so that you can't imagine working without them.

With Behaviors Like These in Complex Systems, Who Needs Mechanisms?
aps.org — When observing a flock of starlings swirling through the sky in perfect coordination—a phenomenon known as murmuration—we witness the elegant interplay of individual actions creating collective behavior. In trying to understand these mesmerizing patterns, researchers can isolate simple rules based on an individual bird’s field of vision and distance to its neighbors, but there’s always a question of whether the model is really capturing the processes behind the bird interactions (Fig. 1). The problem is a general one in complex systems research, and it comes down to distinguishing mechanisms (the rules governing interactions) from behaviors (the observable patterns that emerge).
