Not really. Vendor lock in still applies.



>Not really.

Mind explaining a bit more? If I buy a Samsung Galaxy S4 and the lock screen wouldn't let me in because of a bug in Android, Samsung is still responsible.

>Vendor lock in still applies.

Again, how exactly would that be, if I am say using Ubuntu and Mysql+PHP on a Azure?


And how much effort is Microsoft willing to dedicate to fix your Ubuntu/MySQL/PHP stack?

It's only a single vendor solution until you introduce a second one.

Isn't that the same as asking how much Google is willing to fix Linux for the Android stack??

And your solution is to tell everyone to get a VM and install and maintain everything from scratch? Yeah that will definetly work, which is why the internet is secure with up-to-date Ubuntu stacks from all the daily "sudo apt-get update" keystrokes. /s


A lot actually - the node.js solution on Windows Azure is super solid and they have a core developer on the node.js project to make it so.
