That's probably part of the point. Microsoft gets more news coverage and credibility. Everyone from ETH is loving the partnership. ETH is the biggest place for DAPPs anyway. Just imagine how easy it would be to use Hive or even EOS with staking few USD worth crypto.
It's almost like MSFT doing some ninja level marketing towards crypto communities.Maybe they want more eyes of Azure and less on AWS.
Until I get my 23 eth back from the DAO in 2016, which I was admantantly against in every way(including reading the hackers message to Vitalik), I will never use ethereum or any related currency.
Understandable. Tech in ETH isn't that great to begin with. It's just some great Dapps and whales and orca playing with their investments.
I am excited about the Hive Hustlers expansion of Hive Engine. It's not finished yet, but should offer some DeFi options, potentially a uniswap.
