If users will favour GCE because of reduced downtime support due to the live migration support (or simply favour GCE because of they perceive it as a more advanced platform), then other providers will follow.
Right now it seems that it's all a price war, not yet a feature war. But prices can go down only to a point, then feature war will start showing it's effects, and it will be interesting.
