Are the security issues (that are fresh of mind!) just Microsoft being open and proactive about... security? Is AWS this open? Everything else could have been written about AWS as well.

Unfortunately its better than nagging the BOFH for a few VMs (which you are only going to get this month if he knows you AND likes you, AND you can keep info-sec off everyone's back).
