Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its tech in mass surveillance of Palestinians

Kinda bullish for azure that the idf chose it over aws

Not sure about that. To many companies or individuals, it might make them choose another provider. Unless... they already are Azure customers, in which case they might probably want to avoid the cost of moving from a cloud provider

Israel (like many governments) is very Microsoft Windows centric, so if I had to guess it wasn't chosen due to technical merits but instead based on existing business relationships.

Note: I've used Azure and it sucks. :)

why would that imply bullying?

Bullish, as in, not bearish.

implying not bearing

Azure’s web app for managing servers is a nightmare

Uses the same awful UI/plaform as their Xbox account settings

Microsoft always somehow succeeds in spite of the quality of everything they build.

meh more of a bearish signal. evil using shitty evil tech.

If the AI systems of these companies had 1/3 their hype, their craptastic admin consoles for their 100 billion dollar cloud companies would improve.

... any day now. aaaaaany dayyyy now. Yeah.
