I wonder how many customers Azure just lost do to their unexpected 2 day fiasco

Yeah, that's the main thing to take away from these events. I've never seen a system (cloud, local, co-located, or otherwise) with 100% uptime, despite every effort to the contrary. Even sites like Facebook and Google have downtime. In the last few years that I've been using it, Azure has been at least as stable as other cloud providers.

Who was selling that to you? Because I'm pretty sure it wasn't Microsoft…
