Only after their employees revolted. Never forget this. Only after the employees spoke up.

What do we make of the remaining bidders? aws.. the employees would be fired if they revolted. Microsoft the employees didn't care to revolt.

Tons of stories on why google is evil and microsoft and amazon are the toast of the town. I would rather have google in that position vs amazon/microsoft/oracle because there is a soul and heart at the core of google. The core of Microsoft is different same with Amazon.

Didn't Microsoft employees revolt when Microsoft was making some special Hololens devices for the US army?

They were quickly clamped down even for this contract.

About 50 people signed some petition (most of them weren't even working on hololens). Not much out of the 120 000 people working at MSFT
