They are known for overselling a bit. They admit it in this very blog post. Nice technical, leading edge concepts, good prices. But then they might struggle with fulfilling the promises.
They had big announcements for IPv6. After a long wait they had to admit that their C1 infra has HW limitations and IPv6 would never come. On their other infra they do have IPv6, but I understand the implementation is awkward (not an IPv6 expert myself).
They had big plans for ARM. Nowadays they do mostly Intel.
Yes, I like them for pioneering, but I would not like to have my business heavily relying on their promises.
