It's not like the tech industry is exactly new to using competing companies products.
Microsoft using Mac (not even discretely).
Apple using AWS, Google Cloud, Azure
Amazon Selling competing products
etc, etc
This may be a bit of a specialized case, but if you run a cloud hosting provider that is not your primary (or original) business you will need to accept that likely be involved in running a competing service. (I am sure AWS hosts a fair number of retailers and related technology)
- eridius 7y agoApple relying on Samsung to build components for iPhones is a huge one as well.
- test6554 7y agoThe cloud changed everything from Microsoft's perspective. They don't care what language or OS or tool you use anymore, as long as you host it in their cloud, they are making money.
