Apparently they are now.  Or is the "Microsoft Cloud" really a bunch of
VMS machines?  Am I the only one who sees this as a problem?  How do you
sell a product when someone with large visibilty that you claim is a
major VMS site publicly states, quite to the contrary, that they are a
Microsoft Cloud company?

I'm not knocking VMS.  I am nerely pointing out that this is a serious
piece of anti-advertising.
