To me it does seem more like a very cunning way to market there own products. Why dish out X amount on marketing when you can borg a startup into using your products.
Still it's an avenue that to many is a faustian deal, but it is still a option that many others will apprecieate - even if it does seem a way to promote bing and azure.
- barista 14y agoCalling it cunning is representative of the distrust HN tends to put on anything Microsoft. If this was anything that Google did, it will be lauded for promoting startup culture and helping the hacker community.
- Zenst 14y agoNope my opinion and nothing to do with any implied cultrural trends. If it was Google and it was called the googlesearchfund and offered support for google services as in if you do a product that promotes there products then I'd question that as well. Still +1 to you for raising a fair point, even if i disagree.
