>> I don't think anyone faults Google for haphazardly closing down enterprise products. I think you meant "consumer products" here? I mean, I'd definitely fault them for haphazardly closing down enterprise products. I confess I don't differentiate Google into "Google Consumer" and "Google Enterprise". So, to me, an issue with say Gmail or Reader is a "Google issue" - not a "Google Consumer" issue. I don't think to myself "oh yeah, well Google+ is a consumer product so closing that has no bearing on their enterprise offerings". So sure, GCP maybe an entirely different beast. But my perceptions are for all of Google. If you want GCP to be judged on "non-google" standards, then perhaps don't put Google in the name... To be clear I've never tried GCP. It could be 10% of the price, run 10 times as fast, and have magnificent support for all I know. However I likely still wouldn't use it (for anything meaningful) because I don't _trust_ Google. This is a trust issue, not a price or performance issue.
