I think it goes even further than that. The thinking is that if the professionals at Microsoft can’t even figure this out, how are our in-house sysadmins going to keep a system on line, or deal with it when something bad happens? The possibility of incompetence at Microsoft simply never enters consideration.

The answer has been staring us in the face and laughing at us.

It's on-prem.

They're in the middle of massive fraud to price us out of doing so.

All of these calls are being made from inside the house.

The answer is, you will own nothing, and fuck you wait a little bit until it's profitable for us to make more profit.

We either burn them down or they burn us down. We have a lot of means we haven't tried yet. Organize. No matter the next option, the first step is organize.

The answer to what? As I pointed out earlier, Microsoft’s stock price went up following this event. This is just not an issue to the business people in the world. They’re perfectly fine with how dependent on the cloud they are, and would rather leave the technical issues around recovery from outages like this to Microsoft. If anything, this is a reminder to business people that, if they hosted services on-prem, they’d have to pay people who had the skills and expertise to recover from outages like this, and that’s most definitely not something they’re interested in doing.
