  "account": "Microsoft is extending its Power BI data analytics platform to a much larger group of commercial users, including those who build apps using the Fabric data analytics and engineering platform. This move aims to offer these companies high-end database services and app-building tools available on the Fabric platform. Customers who already have Power BI Pro and Power BI Premium Per User licenses will be able to access Fabric Apps and Fabric Database capabilities, including security, at no additional cost. Microsoft execs claim that the apps being built in Fabric can be transferred to Power BI with minimal effort or expense. The Fabric environment, announced in 2023, includes data mirroring, transactional databases, and integration with Salesforce applications and data systems.",
