Microsoft has dropped the prices on Dv2 Promo Virtual Machines by between 4% and 7% depending on what region and operating system you choose. According to Brian Hillger, senor director for C + E Business Planning, the idea is to give customers the cost savings of their upcoming hyper-threaded Dv3 VMs prior to launch.
When the next generation Dv3 VMs are launched in the next few months, they will be available at these new prices.

This might of been a knee jerk reaction regarding AWS’ recent discounts – nevertheless it’s welcoming.
Amazon changes their prices several times a year on different parts of their product portfolio. I suspect playing catch-up would be too hard, even from Microsoft.
USD$95/Month for a 2 core instance with 100GB of disk and only for a limited time after which it returns to full price.
No thanks.
