HyperV is years too late. We've had VMware since 1998 and Xen, KVM etc for years as well.
PowerShell - Shit crock from end to end. It's a rotten mess of an over-complicated, inconsistent environment that barely works and performs abysmally at the best of times. They can't even get the story straight on dates. Half of it is UTC and half local time and when you mix, boom!
Desired State Config - We had this 20 years ago on Sun machines, plus it doesn't work very well and is not holistic.
VS2012 - Yeah a little better but still crashes 5 times a day with HRESULT errors and throws your workflow out of the window.
Intrigued by your statement I googled about and haven't been able to find any articles that cast doubt on Azure's suitability for financial, insurance or healthcare. Nor any articles that claim poor attitude of these industries towards azure in general. Actually, most of what I have encountered - are fairly enthusiastic articles, case studies and white papers claiming just the opposite. Would you care to provide some information to substantiate your claims? Thanks.

Exchange - "when deployed correctly". Enough said.
What! We get fuck all support. 30 support credits a year which we use up in a month and have to wait 6 months plus for a solution in most cases!
Have you ever tried to decipher microsoft licensing? Probably not - it's a rats nest that means you're always guilty of something.
We can't move to Azure - we have financial, insurance and healthcare clients. None of them want Azure.
I think you're looking through some rose-tinted glasses there.
