Their new OS in a sense is Azure, they want developers of all platforms to run on their cloud. All of these tools have an easy tie to Azure which isn't bad, but the lock-in is happening farther up at the service level now. Web developers are huge in that area.
- gol706 13y agoThey did offer an olive branch as far as Azure lock-in by releasing some of the Azure components (Mobile Services and the Azure Pack) to download and run in your own environment. That said some of those pieces require a pretty high overhead. As with most Microsoft stuff, you get a great fully integrated story if you use their whole stack, but if you want to swap one one piece it falls apart a little. My clients have compliance issues that make cloud providers hard to use so it's disappointing that I can't really use all this coon new stuff.
