Azure pricing: How low will Microsoft go?

The Zune of cloud computing: I just can't get behind any service offered by Microsoft, regardless of the discount they attached to it.

I'd be thinking about the Zune and Hotmail. And, if by some miracle they actually did field a well conceived and cost attractive product, I'd always be wondering when they were going to start sticking it to their customer base.

We run a largely non-Microsoft shop and it's far more productive than any MS shop I've ever worked in. Fewer brush fires, we actually have time to develop profit products and stay ahead on capacity planning. IT as a profit center, what a concept. I just can't see tracking in Microsoft into an environment that works so well without them.; Posted by: Chad_z Posted on: 07/06/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
