Why care if you got monopoly-alike power?
- gchamonlive 2y agoSorry, what do you mean?
- nforgerit 2y agoI'll be getting downvoted for it but imho Ms never really cared about creating good software products and has been shoveling (at best) mediocrity through their wildly successful sales channels and through developing a stranglehold on public institutions (vendor lock-in). Azure is just another angle.
- surfingdino 2y agoThey cared when they had real competition. That was a long time ago.
- gchamonlive 2y agoOh now I get what you meant. Businessmen as well as politicians are not interested in quality, it's just sales numbers and reelection.
- codr7 2y agoI know, but C# is quickly turning into my favorite socially acceptable back end language; and Visual Code is a decent editor, with awesome integrations, another winner. Fucks sake. At least Windows is quickly turning into exactly the kind of dumpster fire I would expect.
- jimnotgym 2y agoBecause people can easily move off Azure...It is a highly competitive market
- adzm 2y agodefine easily! if people go all in on Azure they become very deeply entrenched. Granted it is usually something that could be migrated from, but not without a significant cost if you already have a lot of infrastructure on it.
- LargeWu 2y agoIf you're in a large corporation, it might not be that easy. I've been at multiple companies that have left AWS due to the fact that Amazon has in other lines of business been a competitor. So we're locked in for reasons that are completely unrelated to technology. It would be so much better if AWS spun off into it's own company.
