Wow... I remember the Ballmer days when Open Source was a "cancer" that had to be eradicated. Now it's the way to build Windows itself. Amazing.

(faster than Redmond because the Redmond team doesn’t use a proxy and they have to go hundreds of miles over the internet to the Azure data center)”

what does hundreds of miles of internet have to do with the speed of the service??

my client has a main campus in LA and a dedicated 'cloud' computing center in Las Vegas. Roughly 300 miles between.

Know what the network time between the two is?

4 milliseconds. ROUND TRIP.

please tell me again how a few hundred miles of network is radically slowing down your service... and how it's not your crappy service

Would you please remove me frm this ping list.
I was under the impression it was about “Windows 10”.
It seems that I was mistaken.

Oh, and for a really good browser see - www.brave.com.
