Certain, newer pieces of some of these services, such as the Azure Active Directory service at the heart of Office 365 and some of the newer, complementary Xbox Live services are hosted on Azure. But the core Bing, Office 365 Commercial and Consumer offerings and Xbox Live services are not hosted on Azure. (same article as above)

A number of Microsoft's own services -- including Office 365 business, Office 365 consumer, Bing and Xbox Live -- are not running on its Azure cloud backbone. They are still running on their own custom stacks and datacenters.http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-is-on-a-quest-to-move...

come on do all internet comments have to be perfect? how about "by all public accounts to date".

I'd have though that extra context wasn't necessary.

Hahahaha. I'm picturing HBO Silicon Valley 'doors go like this' guys look of disappointment if he funded a film for $200m and nothing blew up.

I find your arguing style effective.

How's this for a requirement to say 'yes our products contain the element lead'.. when you ask yourself the question 'Do [company name] products contain lead?' on your own website attempting to be transparent about environmental efforts. The company can then go on to put whatever qualifying content they'd like, such as the content you're linking to.

Keep in mind I've said when they are attempting to be transparent. That may not be the goal for http://www.apple.com/environment/answers/

I agree with you. Comparing it to common graffiti is as much an exaggeration as comparing it to graffiti depicting genocide.

Some skaterz 'tag' is going to take weeks or months to be covered/removed. However, if instead they it was a picture likely to draw both political and media attention plus cause some individuals distress at a memorial they are going to move quickly.

The fact is in this case it was inflammatory toward the US government so we are quick to declare democracy and freedom of speech is ending. I don't think the parks department who franticly called a worker to get there and cover it up is part of this broader conspiracy to deprive americans of freedom of expression. They moved quickly on something they knew would get a lot of attention.

Can you link to this deal for an instance with similar specs as the D2.xlarge for 40 a month? that sounds like a great deal and I don't need to host in the US, but this instance type is what I've been looking for.
