Yeah, they definitely just invested $xxx millions in a product that they know they won't be able to keep alive. Amazon has plenty of recourse, and they've been fighting gag orders for years now.

The company leading that charge: Microsoft. The company that got the huge JEDI DoD cloud contract: Microsoft. Weird, huh?
