Many of us do not hide our identities the way you feel compelled to, and do not dismiss Microsoft out of hand because it was cool to do so when we were in our teens.

You–on the other hand–are so confident in your opinion that you have made an incendiary shell of an account to troll people.

If anyone's on the take, it's you.

Regardless of my username, I really like this product. Microsoft is the first to do it and (I assume) it works seamlessly with Azure.

Microsoft is certainly ahead of the pack with this product.
