The Morning After: You can buy a Boston Dynamics robot for $75k

Enterprise software news isn't usually how we'd start off your morning, but in a world where remote work is more common than ever, Google's new partnership with Parallels is worth noting. The virtualization company is best known for making Windows software work on Macs, but now it's going to do the same thing for Google's cloud-connected Chrome OS. More information is due in the "coming months," before the partnership launches this fall, but if the only thing keeping your organization away from Chrome OS is access to Microsoft Office and other apps then that's about to change. We've seen Boston Dynamics' four-legged robotic dog, Spot, help triage patients with COVID-19, hold the door for a fellow bot, herd sheep and more. But until now, Spot was only available under short-term lease in Boston Dynamics' Early Adopter Program.
