Azure/O365 admin here. No, nothing special from a technical perspective.

The value to OpenAI to go Azure(/Microsoft) exclusive is:

- Money & general financial security forever

- Integration with the largest software suite in the world (Windows, O365, Active Directory, etc)

- Rapid push to worldwide enterprise sector

- Rapid push to worldwide gov/mil sector (ChatGPT, coming soon to a war near you!)

- Rapid push to education sector
