More about Where does Power BI end and Microsoft Fabric begin?

Power BI is often perceived as a SaaS cloud service for business intelligence. However, it's more nuanced and contains two key components: business intelligence (BI) artifacts and a data-centric SaaS foundation.
BI artifacts in Power BI include items like reports, datasets, dataflows, and others. These have specific user experiences and required capabilities such as the Analysis Services Tabular engine for datasets. Furthermore, Power BI features workspaces, authentication and authorization, tools for content sharing, discovery, and management, administration and governance, which are applicable to all BI artifacts.
Power BI's familiarity and consistency is a result of its shared SaaS foundation. When new functionalities such as dataflows, paginated reports, or goals are added, they function as one would expect based on prior experiences with datasets and reports.
With the introduction of Microsoft Fabric, the difference between workloads and the service foundation is clearer as there are now more workloads for more practitioner personas. Furthermore, this foundation includes OneLake[2], a shared feature utilized by all workloads but not fully incorporated into the service foundation.
