Doesn't even accomplish what is promised by the headline, and totally conflates EC2 with Azure services -- EC2 is IaaS or HaaS and Azure is PaaS. You can't even compare the two directly. You'd really have to compare Amazon Web Services as a whole to the entire Azure Platform, and even that is a tough comparison. One MAJOR note you've completely missed here -- EC2 offers VPS-like server image hosting, Azure offers nothing comparable to date. This is the most poorly written article I’ve read all day.
