Michael Leworthy had been making a presentation about Azure Migrate on the Microsoft Edge browser. His talk came to the point where he would demonstrate how Azure Migrate detected virtual machines to get data, at around the 37-minute mark. When he tried, the search came up empty.

This put the whole presentation on pause. “I always love it when demos break,” said Leworthy.
