    I’d have to imagine the govt squeezed the shit out of Microsoft on price in order to justify awarding this to them

      Everyone knows Bezos ego is unmatchable. He would do anything to get the deal, be its price or politics or whatever.

      I'm sure we use AWS in some format, just like we have macs, and android devices, Satyia is not an egotistical maniac, he believes that there is room for everyone to make money.

    Trump might have played a role here. He hates Bezos.

    This is incredibly surprising. I would love to read more into the selection criteria and how it was used in the award process.

    A good thing for everyone to know is that just because a company is awarded a program doesn’t mean it had a superior solution or better tech. There are many many factors

      Would you have said the same had AWS won the contract? Wake up , be real.

      Actually I would have. I’m not making excuses for AWS not winning.

    Any ideas how this will affect, if at all, a new grad with a clearance that just accepted an Azure offer to work on the government side?

    Those of you who know me on Blind know that I’m a big fan of Microsoft, especially of Anders Heijlsberg and his creations.

    But this is shady as fuck.

    Trump F$$$$d Bezos hard here and enjoyed the hospitalized Bezos.

    Along level headed Satya marches, Amazon is going to face big hurdles and tank stock in the way. Amazonions are fleeing to other companies.
