This instead seems to be a rant about... whatever AMIs he has tried to run on a micro and absolutely nothing at all about t1.micros.

There are issues with them, such as the terribly inconsistent latency that i'm not really sure if it is caused by network or just not getting actual CPU time. (e.g. run ping to another instance in the same az, 80% of the pings will be 2ms rest are 40ms)

I got the same sense. Shock! Surprise! Outrage! That the absolutely smallest compute unit offered costing less than a movie ticket over the course of a month somehow under performs.
