Microsoft Makes It Harder To Avoid Azure
itwbennett writes "Earlier this week, Microsoft rolled out a handful of hybrid cloud services that make it easy for businesses to start using Azure in a small way. What struck blogger Nancy Gohring about the announcement was 'how deeply Microsoft is integrating Azure into other products,' with the intention of moving long-time customers onto Azure in ways that are hardly perceptible to them."
Everyone leasing time to run their applications and access their data. Like it or not, welcome back to the mainframe age folks, just with more shine and color.

The are using Azure to provide cloud backup (and Azure active directory syncing) and Single Sign-In Services. It's not so much making Azure hard to avoid but actually providing useful utility near seamlessly in Azure.
same here, i have not used microsoft since windows 2000 pro, and never bought any Apple products, if you seen the beat up old 686 i use you would laugh, but it keeps chugging along on Linux just fine

Sig Battery depleted. Reverting to safe mode.
It's Microsoft's implementation of MobileMe, only it doesn't work as well.
You probably should have included a link to the Wikipedia entry on MobileMe.

I can confirm that I am now much more difficult to avoid.
Put down the tinfoil hat and join the real world. You haven't got a citation because it's only something you want to believe and has no basis in reality. What's next, claiming that Linux has a backdoor for the NSA and that Linus Torvalds is on their payroll?
If something like what you claim existed Snowden would have dumped it along with the rest. It would have been revealed and Microsoft stock would have taken a massive multi-billion dollar hit from the news. All that kind of talk does it make you sound like a crazy conspiracy theory nut.
