Maybe I still have the veneer of "Google have the best in the world" in my thinking, but Google "setting a high bar" is beating the competition, not matching it.
Good thing nobody said "setting a high bar", then. You're choosing to read the statement in strained manner that doesn't match my reading of its intended meaning at all.
Hope this helps clarify :)

In your quote on the site when you said "General Availabilty" you were referring to the releあse.
I mis-understood, I thought you were referring to "General Availability" as a synonym for uptime (Probably translated to "High Availability" in my head), not in the "released to General Availability" sense.
My apologies to all.
It's a new line of business, and expect some serious rough patches. Google's brand will immediately step it up to a top-tier provider, but how they handle outages and deliver innovation will really dictate how well it plays out in the marketplace.
This is not true
