    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.

      They already make money hand-over-fist on Azure. Cloud computing is already quite expensive

      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.

      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.
