The central thesis of this article appears to be that Google should assume all of the risks and all of the uptime obligations an entrepreneur might face in hosting their app, but ask nothing in return, and do it for free. I'm not sure this would make a good elevator pitch... More seriously, if Google does this and gets a MSFT-like reputation for demolishing successful members of their developer ecosystem, Amazon provides a for-pay service with higher barriers to entry, but much lower barriers to exit, and a good deal of developer trust already established. Take your pick, but if I were you, I wouldn't base my decision upon this woman's judgment.
