> Microsoft should beat AWS's offering here because well, they make the OS that they are virtualizing.

I don't see the obvious connection here. Software is easy to install. But Azure is not really close in scale of deployment to AWS.

It is the "next closest" right?

Sure - they won't be much disadvantaged. But I meant that if they went Azure only or tried to be the only provider, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. I completely expect them to want a good experience on AWS hosted desktop. Maybe not the best, but I don't expect them to have a significant advantage. (apart from possible integrations)
