Hotmail used to run on bsd, and they tried to move it to WinNT, back in the day. Same thing. Disaster. And it was held up as a reason to never use winnt for serious work, for years.
Microsoft just always shoots themselves in the foot.

So the customers that matter to MS are likely having a great time on azure. And for every ten thousand of us chums that leave azure, there's probably one sweetheart deal won through wine and dine that more than compensates.
