Real Super Star - Satya Nadella says avoiding politics helped Microsoft win the Pentagon cloud contract

https://www.techradar.com/amp/news/satya-nadella-says-avoiding-politics-helped-microsoft-win-the-pentagon-cloud-contract For quite some time, Amazon was seen as the frontrunner for the $10bn, 10-year Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) project. The company's chances appeared to be so good that Oracle went so far as to file a lawsuit arguing that the JEDI contract’s bidding process favors a single cloud vendor. However, President Trump, who has publicly criticized Amazon as well as the company's CEO Jeff Bezos, got involved and ordered a review of the Pentagon's procurement process.

Tech companies should do what they do best- building technology. Not politics.

It’s impossible to separate the two in 2019. I have major respect for Bezos for sticking up for his principles and going against the president of the USA and his legion of worshippers.

Lool what principles? Heard about Seattle elections?

Ahh, so being a little wuss in the face of racism and racism helped Microsoft. Yikes. What a soft company, glad mine has principles

Microsoft has real values and principles. Not phony lip service principles that you can forget after the interview.

I think SEAFreeze is thinking of the Amazon Leadership Principles of making people jump off buildings.

AWS is still king. If the US government was a tech company they would be going with AWS all the way.

Cloud is a commodity. Shrug.

Can’t wait for major security breach on Azure, leaking top secret government data. I mean just logically, that will happen. But that’s okay, because Trump will blame Amazon and immigrants, and his supporters will believe him.

Microsoft bruiselee Nov 2, 2019

That’s why everyone’s a w(h)inner in this deal

Microsoft has constant breaches, but they never disclose them.
