Remember that time that Microsoft sunk a data center in the ocean, proved this was cost effective, was reliable and could scale? And now it’s been five years and nothing happened? Yeah that was annoying.
Anyway their site of glowing press releases is still up for some reason

It worked well until there was a component failure, requiring a whole farm to be taken down to replace said failed components. This is why they dropped the project.

you don’t need to jump off a building to research gravity…
the specific issue that is claimed to have made the entire project unviable is easily spotted a mile away

I’m sure they did, and they wouldn’t take the farm down until there was X% failure, but the amount of time and effort it took to perform those repairs made it unfeasible.
