Advocate IOn premise Power BI report server and desktop programs
We are thinking of having an on-prem power bi report server and also using the cloud service in the future. Do we need to think of the future architecture with having two seperate desktop programs for on-prem usage and for cloud usage? Or are they at some point in the future combining the two feature sets together in to one desktop program for designing the reports?

Hi ShaWo
I'm pretty sure you use the same Power BI Desktop application to author reports for both onpremise and web-service reports.
ShaWoEdit: Forgot to say Thank you Phil_Seamark :)
Okay, that sounds good. It just gets pretty confusing when half of the documentation speaks of "Power bi desktop" and half of "Power BI desktop optimized for power bi report server"
Examples of both
