I can see Microsoft just being the Azure company at this rate. Then they’ll have to charge what it costs to run and a lot of companies will wish they had stayed cloud agnostic.

So the Microsoft brand is just for show and it’s actually called Azure.

Azure is tiny compared to the competition.
363 is much more successful comparatively. That said, its dying fast, with the utter garbage service upgrades, its enshitified hard into a rigid platform unsuitable for enterprises. So find/make a real alternative to EXO with the Outlook app: and 365 ends over night.

Azure is a very close second behind AWS and nearly twice the market share of GCP.

The business is basically thirds last I looked. Windows, Office and Azure.
Not sure how their purchase of platform companies they shouldn’t have been allowed to buy plays into that. Thinking LinkedIn and GitHub.
