This is What “All-in” Looks Like

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Robert Pogson

Amazon cloud services are exploding:

Growth rate is uncertain but it may have been 70% per annum and accelerating over the years (the “other” category in the financials). M$ has nothing on its books that looks anything like that. Imagine the drain on Amazon’s ledger if it were running its cloud on that other OS instead of on GNU/Linux. Does anyone recommend businesses who want to make money for themselves rather than M$ should use M$’s OS? 😉

    Unless you are claiming Amazon is a charity, you might want to rephrase that. See, Amazon _is_ a business and _is_ only interested in making money for themselves.
