Yesterday:
![Remond [sic] modernizes database management system for an open and cloudy world](http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/sql-server-old.png)
Yesterday the summary said: "Remond [sic] modernizes database management system for an open and cloudy world" (compare Google Cache for new page and old page; the latter now redirects to the former)
Today:
It has since then been changed to say the above (in all black along the top, due to the Queen's death).
Summary: It's good to see publishers not only recognising a mistake but also correcting it (The Register is notorious in that regard). Microsoft is googlebombing "Linux" again to promote proprietary software nobody needs. It's not even a proper port to GNU/Linux! It said "open and cloudy world" as if this proprietary software of Microsoft is "open" rather than affront to it. It was a good choice and a sound editorial decision to correct the mistake, even if belatedly.
