Google isn't running a charity. Shutting down losing services is a smart business decision. If you see the cloud going the way of the typewriter, then you should also be looking elsewhere to run your computing resources.
- bane 13y agoYeah, I don't disagree at all. I think Amazon is making a longer term strategic move with AWS and is more likely to swallow a few years of not making any money than Google however. Of course a couple years ago I would have said the same about Google, but they've been on a bit of a tear recently where that doesn't seem to be as much the case anymore.
