If I'm not being too nosy - what are your monthly bills like (and what kind of workloads)?

Not vms, but we are a small development shop. We each have a laptop but everything else runs in the cloud, including all production processes and sites. Azure Sql, azure web site with webjobs, azure storage. It's defintely cheaper than having physical servers. I think the big cost people overlook in replacing physical servers with cloud services is the human cost. With physical servers you have to pay someone to keep it updated, to replace hardware, etc. For us, the time savings adds up more than the initial purchase cost.

It's good to know some people (that don't work on the Azure team) have good experiences with it - thank you!

This should be given careful consideration by every developer, because of how much microsoft's standards have soared, over the last 13 years.
Oops! Typo, sorry.
I meant "soured".

On the other hand, you have to consider all the technologies MS walked away from leaving developers high and dry: COM/OLE, VB6, XAML, Windows Mobile, UWP, ...

They're very good about it, though.
They give everyone long enough to get so far into it that almost everything they do revolves around it, before they kill something off.
At least google kills stuff before you've even heard of it.

Intel's security plans sound a lot like "we're going to catch up to AMD." The bad news: it's only Caesar Cipher
Or maybe it just converts everything into Pig Latin for storage?
I wonder how long it will take before someone finds a hole in this one?

I fear that it will be not that long.
Real good and secure code needs time, time is money, and todays companies (or better said the people running them) don't want to invest 1 coin (no matter which currency) more than what is absolutely needed, so they can fill their pockets even more (although some of them already have more money than some countries).

You've just described the state of play in the US.
It's not quite as bad in Europe, and it's completely different in India and China.

Software developers need testers to be their shield in the fight against software defects. QA professionals want programmers to know how to strengthen this alliance. At least the ones that can be put into print
I'm sure there are a few "bluer" items out there

Oh, for God's sake!
If you want devs to help you out, don't, for crying out loud, try to use logical arguments or facts -- most devs subscribe to one or more "alternative logics" based on "different facts", so it's a lost battle before it begins.
Just tell them that you need them to be your Mighty, Shining Guardian, equipped with their Mithril Sword of (insert programming language name here), and Legendary Shield of Infinite Knowledge.
They'll be eating out of your hand.
