- jmathai 14y agoApologies not needed. That raises a question though. I was implying that Apple and Microsoft don't do as well building web services. I wouldn't argue that Azure can't scale but the overall approach seems to be a little bit "unfinished". Let me explain, the only true cloud computing environment that really solves 90% of any companies needs is AWS. Somehow Amazon understands what the developer community needs. I'm really perplexed by Google not getting this right. Apple doesn't and I don't believe Microsoft does either. I don't think this is about technical chops. It's something else that I can't put my finger on. Similar to how I don't understand how Amazon crushed Best Buy so quickly.
