Microsoft should have done a clean room implementation of their cloud and used that to pivot their customers into more manageable technology for both parties.

Microsoft should have done a clean room implementation of their cloud and used that to pivot their customers into more manageable technology for both parties.
That they've chosen to integrate it with all their legacy stack (which is one of the most complicated ones in existence) is understandable and what 99% of companies would have done but... it's a horrible experience using it. Maybe people with only Microsoft experience don't feel the pain anymore.
- BirAdam 3y agoYour viewpoint isn’t without merit. I think it’s just a cost/benefit analysis issue though. Each platform has its own warts. For Microsoft, they built much of their business on backward compatibility, so breaking with that would be tough. As concerns the cloud, MS does partner with Canonical quite a bit, so it isn’t as if they are dogmatic in their tech stack. This issue seems more of a company one and not a technical one.
