They don’t describe the terms of the deal. Is it $1 billion in cash/stock? Or $1 billion in Azure credits and engineering hours?

- neiman 7y agoit must be described somewhere, though not in the announcement. I don't think you're allowed to make $1B deals with a public company without specifying those things somewhere.
- marketdroid933 7y agoWell, sure it’s detailed somewhere. We in this thread don’t know, is what I was getting at. The comment I replied to may not be far off the mark in what this really is: computer/human time “worth $1 billion” or something. If it’s actual cash that says something different to me than a donation of resources with some value estimated by MS.
- strikelaserclaw 7y agoFrom some other comment, it says its a cash deal.
- stinkbug9o 7y ago$1 billion - costs of operating exclusively on Azure. Not that it’s a raw deal, but it smells a bit disingenuous to peddle it like this. MS gets a big chunk back thanks to that exclusive arrangement.
