Most online SaaS/Internet startups? Yes. Maybe some on Azure too. Every other type of business startup is going to use Windows because software. Call centers, restaurants, supermarkets, retail stores, real estate, financial, pharmaceutical, etc.

We are a SaaS startup using exclusively Azure. Minus the complete lack of a data warehousing/OLAP service, it's great!

  Have you compared the cost of your compute/VMs to Google Compute Engine? When I did, Azure was literally double the cost. And it has useful SSD options which Azure doesn't yet have. But Azure is a fairly cool product overall.

    Azure does actually have SSD options for both VMs and Storage Accounts now.

    Also, no, we haven't. They don't provide native .NET, like Microsoft (obviously), access to all of their services. Azure's pretty much the only option for infrastructure-less .NET at the moment.
