        There are two sides to this really.

        1. it did not happen
        2. it did, but the Amazon, Apple, & Supermicro are barred from stating as much by the top secret investigation going on.

          Yeah, and the counter argument to it happening is the verbose nature in which Apple and other large companies are discussing it not happening.

              I guess this could also go under the Cisco Vulnerabilities thread:
              https://www.itnews.com.au/news/cisco-automatically-deleted-vms-hosting-webex-teams-513511

              Cisco has revealed why its WebEx Teams cloud collaboration service went down: it deleted its own virtual machines.

                        I'd say the old service pack method was more reliable then this windows as a service crap.

                          Well, they don't have the experience at rolling releases like Red Hat, Ubuntu, and Suse do. They are twenty years behind the curve, you gotta expect they to be learning as they go.

                            @scottalanmiller I agree, this is where Linux shines now....I'd would love to see developers drop windows and push their products to Linux, we only need some big companys like Adobe to adopt this which would push everyone else over..

                                      And you'd likely only have to hit him once with that wrench. . .

                                        @dustinb3403 i doubt youd often need to even hit them once.

                                            Depends on what kind of drugs you use. Heroin? You can use the wrench all you want, he won't feel any of it, and won't know the password. Meth? You better be ready to get that wrench shoved up your ass and pulled out through your nose. PCP? He will be beating you with said wrench and laptop within 0.5 seconds, hopefully you will have already made peace with the deity of your choice.
