Microsoft “Azure” (or “Cloud”) Results Are Most Likely an Elaborate Fraud

And it's hardly shocking that Microsoft is reportedly shutting down some datacentres

Capone Commits the Crimes, Pays Slush Funds



Summary: Even Microsoft fans (who participate in Microsoft podcasts and censor Microsoft critics) aren't buying the latest "sales figures for Azure"

THE criminals who run Microsoft apparently carry on with their long-running financial misconduct. Maybe they feel like they're above the law. Maybe they feel shameless about it under the current president, who is himself known for con jobs and other things...



"Is he belatedly realising that Microsoft fakes Azure "success"?"The Microsoft propagandist and chief editor of the 'defamation mill' ZDNet (a tabloid of CBS that defames Free software people and whose editor is in bed with Microsoft, having fired Free software-centric writers) has just published "Dear Microsoft: It's time to disclose some real sales figures for Azure" (it never does). We omit the link.

The opening paragraph says: "Microsoft delivered a blowout fiscal second quarter as its commercial cloud hit a $50 billion annual run rate, but in the end we know just as little about Azure sales as we did before. In other words, we know nothing about Azure sales so let's put aside the breathless BS until Microsoft gives us some real data."

We do know that most of it is GNU/Linux VMs. It's not a business model but an entrapment strategy.

"Microsoft defrauds its shareholders by reclassifying everything "cloud" and pretending that it's going great."Is he belatedly realising that Microsoft fakes Azure "success"? Microsoft insiders spoke about this and a former one issued a complaint to the SEC. This is very serious stuff. Microsoft's fictional market value may be based almost entire on a very major lie.

Microsoft defrauds its shareholders by reclassifying everything "cloud" and pretending that it's going great. Details? No, thanks. That's a secret. Ask again later.

It's corporate cannibalism (competing against oneself or one's old 'products'). The people who promote this illusion are part of the fraud and one of them was arrested for pedophilia last year. All in all, be extremely sceptical of what Microsoft claims because even its biggest and loudest fans are now sceptical. Have they been so easily conned and co-opted into relaying lies which shareholders and sometimes pension funds are tied to?
