Legacy support sucks, but if you don't support your old products people won't trust your new ones.
- anonacct38 6y agoThey do have a reputation issue, and it does cost them some business. There are CTOs who basically won't touch a google product in beta because there are so many things that get pulled. That being said they are good at running vms and storage. They are really good at running kubernetes. Their network is amazing.

- cett 6y agoI would find it hard to take a CTO seriously who can't differentiate between beta and "generally available", or consumer product and enterprise cloud product. It's a bit like saying you wouldn't use AWS because of Fire Phone.
