Power BI is released to the public on Friday, 07/24. There’re both free and Pro versions. For full details about products, downloads, and pricing, go to https://powerbi.microsoft.com/. This is how the community reacted to the release on Twitter.
An exciting news was announced a day prior to GA. The reports created using Power BI Desktop can be – at least for now – published to Pyramid Analytics Server allowing to host them on-premise. This is the number one requested feature in the user voice.
All I can say is Wow! This is awesome:) #PowerBI & @PyramidAnalytic on-premise support for #PowerBI Desktop, kudos http://t.co/mA1SFqDLzR

This is big – publish to Pyramid is built into the #PowerBI Desktop app! An on-prem story for Power BI! https://t.co/yVUxKCPhdW

I still hope a Microsoft-branded, cloud-free, and Sharepoint-free Power BI Server will be announced. Wait…
@Technitrain PASS Summit will be worth the long trip this year for on-prem BI updates

This GA is a good step forward. There’ll always be things that needs improvement. With the PBI team working hard and listening to the vibrant community, I’m sure we’ll see Power BI continue to evolve into a huge story.
#PowerBI Desktop for Mac is in the works right? It'll be delivered soon right?
