"I hadn't really seen this coming from Microsoft"
Not even when they first announced it at PDC2008 a year ago?
- colinplamondon 17y agoThey had about eight and a half layers of marketing bullshit during the presentation and on the website- if you squinted real hard while hopping up and down on one foot with a tin foil hat in correct alignment, it looked like something resembling a good solution to a real problem. Now more information is coming out in an accessible way about what Azure actually is, no hat alignment necessary.
- jlees 17y agoPeople announce stuff relating to technologies I don't use at conventions I don't go to all the time. A quick google suggests that it was more the concept of Azure that was announced, not its point-and-click accessibility (the WebPI). Even if I'm wrong on that, once again HN has confused me saying "I didn't..." with "Nobody did...". Sigh.
