Am a keen follower of Microsoft's SharePoint Blog and proud to provide this direct from the Microsoft Tech Community:

Tech enthusiasts, the wait is over. “Goodnight Subsites” paved the way to have fun while learning – parodical tales tested through time – since March 27^th, 2001.

 

And now, in 2023, a new tale emerges – one that is sure to rise to the top of the Tech PDF charts. The Service That SharePoint Built is a must read for everyone – a Spring gift to anyone asking, “How does it work?” or “What platform does this or that run on?” or “Where is that stored, really?”

 

Imagine, two IT Pros floating in the sky looking down at a Microsoft 365 data center. The first IT Pro says, “Wait, it’s all SharePoint?” And the second astronaut pointing a laser pointer at and endless stream of apps and services built on the backbone of this industry-leading content service says, “Always has been.”

 

This is not your typical technical PDF. It is a tech parody intended to bring the giggles while learning a thing or two about the glue that binds – that many Microsoft 365 applications are powered by SharePoint: Loop, OneDrive, Sites, Designer, Syntex, Office, Teams, Viva, Stream, Whiteboard, Search, Yammer, and Lists. Read and share the full story below:
