We have a similar mix, though I was referring to the underlying virtualisation providing their cloud hosting.

Azure runs on windows. Hosts run a modified version of Hyper-V.

This has killed any positive feelings I had left for the company.

What we wanted: Alpha Centauri 2

What we got: Civilisation in a $2 shop Halloween costume.

AppleTV+, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+

Or:

YouTube but without ads
