- rrdharan 9y agoMicrosoft is not a competitor, Amazon is - I fail to see the implied hypocrisy?
- gadders 9y agoMaybe Bob still holds a grudge: "Some have speculated that Muglia and Ballmer disagree about the development and future of Microsoft's cloud computing platform, Windows Azure, but no details are available. So for now, at least, the departure remains somewhat of a mystery --- as is the blunt way that Ballmer handled it." http://www.computerworld.com/article/2470214/social-business/why-did-microsoft-s-steve-ballmer-publicly-oust-bob-muglia-.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/2470214/social-business...

- Johnny555 9y agoI don't understand your confusion? Neither Snowflake Computing or Microsoft are competitors.
