    From your article: We have something over a million servers in our datacenter infrastructure They do not have a million data centers, they have a combined million servers in their datacenters.

      I understand the difference now, thank you!

        It seems like you're still a bit confused. These might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datacenter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datacenter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_(computing) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_(computing)

  "We know that the Redmond company has recently announced that they are planning a $677 datacenter expansion in west Des Moines Iowa" Maybe they have a million datacenters because they're super-cheap? I can't even paint my house for $677.

    Has been updated, as well as the "server" issue thanks!

      I still see "Microsoft now has more than one million datacenters" in the article. Haven't read the whole thing, either.

  This is the stuff a prime-time television writer would crank out. "Microsoft has one million internets, only second to Google."
