Also, we have recently been in contact with Microsoft Azure and their requirements to join would delay the final release of the Bitbay client. We would rather complete the client and focus on its integration into other services. A more detailed post has already been made by David on Slack.

what would be the advantage of joining Azure for a decentralised market if there is any?

All good points! Thanks for the links. I totally agree.
