I'm not even sure it's a good baseline. For example one of the discussions involves EC2 and .Net and the main criticism of EC2 is it doesn't support Windows 2008. Anyone who knows EC2 will tell you that hasn't been true for a while and that's kind of an important distinction. I don't keep a close enough eye on App Engine to know about it but as someone who knows Azure and EC2 both of those are mis-represented here and that makes this next to useless imho.
