What is wrong with all that? That they implement what the customer wants?


I don't really get this feeling, they implement what some corporate monkey a couple of levels removed from anybody that ever works with Azure wants in out case.


Nothing... I was just making the point that Microsoft has a number of people on the inside at Enterprise customers (which Amazon typically won't have) who help their sales team. This, rather than technical or service offering differences, is likely a significant factor as to why they appear to be more successful at winning contracts against Amazon.

The 'unfortunately' part of my comment was only referring to the fact that technical differences often don't play a significant factor in these deals.
