I suspect your question isn't serious, but the way it works is the pyramid of technology distribution. Older technology that's still working gets passed down to others who are less savvy, who then become customers of your brand. Free stuff handout marketing that doesn't cost your company anything? Yeah, that's not a bad thing.

>A new, international survey of 100 CIOs

These surveys only tell you the mood of other CIOs. Which if you are a sales guy is useful. Or if you are a CIO and you want to make the "safe" choice, you at least know what that is. "Everyone is doing it" goes a long way with the boss.

>Roughly 31 percent of the CIOs will be using Azure for IaaS, versus roughly 30 percent using AWS. Today, about 21 percent are using AWS and 12 percent are using Azure.

This says to me that if you aren't an early mover, you are more likely to answer "Microsoft" to any questions about vendors.

The only hotel safe I thought was safe for valuables was one with a key, where they handed me the key and said, "If you lose it, it's a 90$ fee because we have to call a locksmith." But that's only been one hotel out of hundreds. Otherwise I think of hotel safes as a first place a thief would look for stuff worth stealing.
