Embrace, extend, extinguish. Justified or not, Microsoft's history makes it hard for me to trust them.

AWS have wiped over $2000 in excess charges incurred by one of our instances' data transfer - we set up an alert after that - they've been awesome to us and we trust them and are now spending more and more every month.

So they wiped some money you owed for data transfer that most likely cost them absolutely nothing. Big deal.

How many other companies do you think would do that?

My company would. Bandwidth costs very little (and AWS must make a huge markup on it).
