Almost a month after AWS concession, Redmond keeping mum on reason for locking rivals out
Customers and sellers of virtual desktop infrastructure remain frustrated that Microsoft continues to lock out Google and Alibaba from running Office 365 Windows Apps on their cloud platforms, weeks after Redmond made concessions for AWS.
"The licenses that will be eligible under this revised policy include Microsoft 365 E3/E5/A3/A5 and Microsoft 365 Business Premium. If you currently have any of these licenses, starting from August 1, you will be able to utilize these Microsoft applications on Amazon WorkSpaces virtual desktop infrastructure," it said.
We talked to numerous interested parties who spoke on the condition of anonymity, companies that are close to both Microsoft and its rivals. One said of the licensing lockout:"There's absolutely no technical reason. It is purely commercial." "Microsoft have their own solution, Windows 365 and Azure virtual desktop, and they are competitive products to us, so in a market essentially what they're telling customers is, 'If you have a security concern with Windows, you want to run it in a datacenter in a cloud,' but the only choice you have is Azure."
