For larger orgs and enterprises, it is Active Directory/Entra. That is the true Microsoft killer app and lock-in driver. There is no comparable Linux solution that I am aware of.

My experience was that the Linux VM agents used to cause frequent problems but in the time I was using Azure I did see great improvements in them, kudos for that. I'd like to see less churn and breaking changes in agents and in Azure

One interpretation of your question is the Azure API / RM engine itself, which if I understand correctly is written in C# and can run on either linux or windows or probably some containerized app engine version of either or both

Is it a different issue? It's the employer trying to get more than what they are paying for, and I think it factors into the overall employer/employee relationship.

Good point. If that's what they did the employees should have taken the super low tech route, set your optical mouse on an analog clock.

I don't know if it is still the case but MS SQL was very deficient tech wise against Oracle DB, and never really a contender for a large OLTP DB. To the point that for some applications, it simply would not work due to excessive locki

For Oracle DB there are a number of viable, well built and active open source alternatives like Postgres, is there any real alternative to Active Directory? I've long considered AD to be microsoft's true killer app, especially fo

There is a general problem with excessive rent seeking in our entire economy and society. But I don't think having zero patent protection is the answer. Like most problems with society, there is no easy answer, just a continual fight
