I'm wary of incentivizing corporations as a personal wealth vehicle, but I still agree with you. Payroll, sales, capital gains, and value added taxes are a great place to shift or grow tax revenues should we ever reduce the corporate t

Honestly, they should embrace it. Change the Yap logo to the outline of the island. Turn an abysmal oversight into a piece of marketing lore.

As far as ads go, this was the most convincing sell I've seen for a high end computer in a long time. Good job to whoever is doing the marketing.

You put a very disappointing feeling into words. Such a shame.

It's not, if you scroll up there's a fellow who determined it's closer to 2.5b a quarter for Azure.

It's 'inflated' as in a large section of their enterprise software is included with Azure, similar to GCP with G suite. That being said, Amazon Chime and Workdocs are also included in AWS revenue, but probably make up a much

I have rejuvenated confidence in Google after seeing the push on Pixel phones and Nest devices, though that confidence still isn't very high.

While I understand the sentiment, I think most of us are interested particularly in the separated cloud and productivity revenues, which is why people bring this up. Even though AWS is 'purer' relative to GCP's and Azure&#x27

AWS has better open source managed solutions than Azure and GCP right now, but Azure also has things like a billing console that can integrate with AWS - which is a great feature albeit not being so powerful yet.

Azure and GCP had either comparable or worse UIs for a lot of services compared to AWS, but region specific UIs were a notable unintuitive design compared to others.

Do you think you know or could guess an average response time for ticket responses?

Think MS just has a better sales experience for cloud in general after getting to know the space - not just existing contacts.

I don't think it's the exception, rather the other way around actually!

I'm not sure this is true? I know Azure/MS was way better with sending someone to contact my team (as well as other larger corporations I got to talk to) to figure out a type of partnership with us and determine the level of suppo

Ehh it might just be that the cost of living in some parts of Greece are much lower than in others, making the average salary much lower than the requisite for covering cost of living for more expensive regions. Numbeo seems to support this
