| No surprise to be honest. What rather surprises me are the comments claiming MSFT is suddenly going to go bankrupt because there is a pre-install spyware. Have you ever worked in a Fortune 500 ? Do you know how hard it is in those company to get anything done that has not been budgeted and planned years in advance ? Do you seriously believe Fortune 500 using MSFT are going to suddenly migrate ALL their Azure workload somewhere else like some kind of startups run by 3 devs ? Yes Azure VMs have spywares builtin , but last time I checked all Europeans companies that are using American Cloud fall under the « Cloud Act » legislation which « legally » requires cloud vendor to hand over ALL the data the company is currently hosting. I’ve worked in some of the largest insurances in Europe they LOVE Microsoft and Azure , even if there is this spyware issue , they will pretend it doesn’t exist and do business as usual. Im pretty sure everyone will forget about this news in 1 month or so. |
