    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 …

    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…

    Cost of living has been skyrocketing in Toronto and Vancouver as well unfortunately.

    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 AW…

    I don't think Azure is behind GCP - from what I've not only read but personally found in their offerings and support teams, Azure and AWS are really comparable for most, and GCP la…

    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 pa…
