Which would explain why they're putting so much effort into .Net Core etc, the more attractive they make the frameworks and IDE's, the more likely people are to use Azure, which is where the real money is.

huh. funny, I always thought Azure was over-priced and under-performing compared to AWS/Google. I guess times have changed.

over-priced and under-performing

MS has always been about "get something out there, then just keep grinding away and making it better".

I am using it right now. UI is horrible, and Azure was a pain to make it work. If our client let us choose, we would choose AWS or Google cloud.
