I used azure at a previous job and it was awful, I even convinced the company to ditch it and buy a cheap local server. The end result is it was faster, they saved money and things worked better. If microsoft is really betting all its cards on azure then I would absolutely short it if I was into finance.

Once my Windows 10 no longer works I will NOT be upgrading to Windows 11, I will either go linux or mac because I can’t tolerate microsofts crap anymore. I will never pay for an azure office or visual studio subscription, I will avoid microsoft products like the plague after all the crap they pulled and I have been using windows since version 3.11
