Re: Four 9s?
I remember storage vendors making this statement but NOT server vendors, far to many variables

So why do developers go to the cloud? Because its quick, no internal lengthy capex delays, easy to scale fast and predictable costs (on the most part). This is just a converged box with Microsoft Azure on it - it will sell, a little but in the end....tin WILL die for 95% of applications. Everything will be delivered via browsers, so windows will die, serverless compute will diminish server licenses, SQL will still be strong for a while but who knows.
I see Microsoft playing the Hyper-V game with Azure. They are always looking at AWS and copying in the later release, as they did with VM-WARE. Google still has a strong part to play with "the cloud Wars" due to their far superior analytics and search engine but I can genuinely see, unless they start to innovate rather than copy, Microsoft becoming an IBM or HP...dead horses
