Wow people love Microsoft so much that they are ready to go to such lengths to pay them money.

  It's not love, it's existing infrastructure. Do you rebuild your entire production environment every time a vendor has a billing hiccup?

    No, our existing infrastructure has existed longer than Azure existed. Azure is pretty new in town, I doubt there was much infrastructure built on it. So I believe people really wanted to re-build their infra out from AWS or GCP into Azure in the first place. Basically my point is -- why rebuilding existing GCP/AWS infra into Azure in the first place? More so if it wasn't on any "cloud" at all before.

        Sorry, I mean there was a point at which someone decided "let's go Azure". And that point was when AWS/GCP were already well-established (and provided Windows VMs for a long time). So the only reason I see why they still wanted to go with Azure is the love for Microsoft.
