Has nothing to do with Windows. It's about the different services Microsoft offers. Like Azure or OneDrive. You could run Linux (Microsoft has their own distro btw) on their cloud and they would give the US everything they asked for.

    You'd assume that, but then you've not had the misfortune of using Google Cloud. "Because fuck you, that's why." -- Sundar Pichai.

    The big benefit of AWS Linux and Azure Linux is they start up really really quickly on their respective platforms, so if you've an app to run that's fairly platform agnostic then it's easy to deploy at scale. If it's not very platform agnostic then you're in for a world of pain. AL2023 in particular seems to just rename all the packages differently from any other distro just for the fun of it.
