Azure has an edge over AWS at big companies, Goldman Sachs survey says

Microsoft first got onto my shitlist radar by putting a series of application vendors out of business by making bad knockoffs and leveraging bulk sales. EE&E has its roots in those stories.

With a leopard this old, it’s hard to tell if it has changed its spots or it’s just covered with old dirt. What I do know is if you get bit I don’t want to hear about it. I’ll just laugh and laugh in your face.

You’re really bringing up EE&E in a thread comparing Microsoft & Amazon?!

LOL indeed.

I’d say it’s safe to say if MS has the market dominance Amazon does now, they would absolutely be doing the same things. They used to, and would again, despite their “underdog” current PR campaign.

Pardon my ignorance, what is EE&E?

Edit: just had a flashback to /. - is it “embrace, extend, extinguish”?

I’m bringing up MS’ very real history of competing within its own ecosystem in a conversation about Amazon doing the same. The big three are all snakes in the grass. Don’t fool yourself about lesser evils.
