GW, if what we have heard is true and I believe it is, is still the only product currently available that can containerize MSFT apps and that alone should be worth billions over the next few years. Not positive but I also don't believe there is another product that can currently containerize Fortran, legacy operating systems, or entire mainframes. Throw in the microvisor, small footprint, vastly improved density of users a single server can handle at once, speed of operation, ease of use/maintenance, and other such features and I still believe it qualifies as disruptive.
Now take the stance that there are other options available that can provide some of the above features, is there any that can provide all these features at a price level to which ANY/Azure can provide? Makes me believe ANY/MSFT should be able to take any business they want should they feel it is necessary strictly for market share. I believe this makes it disruptive.
Now why with these advantages hasn't it sold yet to the masses? Nobody was selling it as it wasn't available til just the past few weeks and MSFT hasn't officially launched it yet.
2016 is without a doubt the make it or take a hike year for the company. It is now nearly 2016, let's put 2015 in the rear view mirror and remember the bad times but not relive them continually thru 2016.
