The bad news for Microsoft isn't that Azure is down, it's that only a tiny number of people even noticed.

- huggyface 15y agoIs it really trolling? Honestly, who uses Azure? Like most MSDN subscribers I did some mashing in it -- that still exists -- but did absolutely nothing real in it. My sense is that very, very few did anything beyond prototyping in it. And just to add some opinion, the reason I wouldn't even consider it is Microsoft absolutely flippant ADD when it comes to online services. I have zero faith that they won't just shut it down tomorrow.

- huggyface 15y agoSuch as? Microsoft's case studies for Azure are absolutely dismal. I note the other comment mentions Apple, which was a pre-release beta rumor based upon the IP that a beta iMessage lived at (since moved). It speaks volumes, I think, when such a disproven pre-release claim is still held as the example.
- huggyface 15y ago-1? For real? "A whole bunch" is not a credible statement of fact.
