       | Why single out Amazon? Why not ask the same thing of Google and
       | Microsoft as well?

         | PR FAQs start with a future-looking press release which, if you
         | want to call it that, is effectively fan fiction. They are
         | certainly more than a little campy at times, but they're a way
         | to set a vision for what you want the world see when the
         | product is debuted. There's one of these for arguably every
         | single AWS service ever.
         | 
         | The external and internal FAQ components are also there, and
         | most of the normal qs (What will they most like/dislike) are
         | present in this one. Though I will say that some of his answers
         | wouldn't pass muster, like for "What will customers most
         | dislike about the launch of A-Cloud?". FAQ answers aren't meant
         | to be puffery, and a better one might comment on how this would
         | introduce some temporary overhead that wouldn't be providing
         | value to the customers who didn't care about the Amazon/AWS
         | relationship.
